<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dadams, post: 3132649, member: 82194&quot;]So I was at a coin show yesterday and happened across a Chou Dynasty Knife - I&#039;m very skeptical of its authenticity, but I did buy it in person from a known dealer albeit they deal mostly in US coinage.&nbsp; I casually mentioned that these types are often faked and he reassured me several times of its genuineness.&nbsp; It didn&#039;t cost much so I bought it . . . now with it in hand I start checking to see what exactly I bought.&nbsp; It seems to me this is a Chou Dynasty Six Character Knife and I matched it to Schjöth 44. If indeed it is genuine this would be an unimaginable score.</p><p><br /></p><p>The knife is 16.7cm long and I got a weight of 64g on a food scale the width at the tip of the knife end is 2.9cm. The patina is hard and does not come off.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.bibliopath.com/coins/boards/Chou_Kinfe001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
