<p>[QUOTE="gregarious, post: 2727069, member: 82430"]funny story.. i collect all types of ancients and antiques, including, but not limited to coins. so, when you where about 9(HAPPY BIRTHDAY), i bought a bronze sword from the warring states period, along with 5 calligraphy pieces from a dealer in china and had him ship them to me here in the states. when the package arrived, it had a sizable hole in it along with 3 of the calligraphy pieces gone and the tip of the sword bent. i tried to straighten out the sword and broke off the very tip of a perfectly well preserved piece of ancient art that still had chinese characters on it. i still have the sword, but not here with me and here's the 2 calligraphy bronze that made the trip. i thought seriously of making a journey to china to pay him a personal visit.[ATTACH=full]619193[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]619196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]619203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]619204[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
