Not really sure if this should be in the "Ancient" forum, or the 'Chinese one". Seeing as the weapons mentioned are from around 200 BC, I opted for "Ancient" :)
I was watching a fairly detailed documentary the other day on the warrior's from the Chinese Terracotta Army of around 200 BC. In it, they mentioned the superb quality of the bronze weapons found in the pits. I was wondering if anyone today manufactures *usuable* ( eg not tourist-quality) bronze reproductions of any of these weapons ? I know folks like Neil Burridge does beautiful bronze repro's of European area weapons, but does he ( or anyone else) also do Chinese ones ?
