The Chinese Bronze Age is known to have started in the Shang Dynasty and ended sometime within or after the Zhou. I did some research and saw some really beautiful swords like the 'Sword of Goujian', Bronze 'Jians' or interesting ones like the Shang Dynasty era swords.
Question is what are the best places to get authentic replicas of either Bronze Age period or later Bronze Swords that came after the Chinese Bronze Age ended though (Like how bronze swords from what I heard continued to remain in use within Ancient Greece)?
I've never really seen them tested on YouTube either or any videos so its hard to tell but in my opinion Chinese bronze swords are some of the nicest I've seen for bronze across the world apart from stuff like the Ewart Park. 'Jian' swords themselves from what I read were originally a bronze sword design later adapted into steel designs.
P.S is it just me or in some ways do their shapes remind me a little of European arming swords?
