My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 395
Except for the mirrors, the second most items here are all kinds of swords and swords. There are more than a dozen of them hanging on the wall. Some of them look rusty, so they probably have a bit of history.

Jackie picked up a western cross sword.

The cross sword is a more ornate, single-handled hilt, shield-like hand guard and slender blade that it can only stab.Some Spanish and French crossed swords also had wider blades, allowing for cutting but less power.

With the evolution of history, this kind of sword has been preserved to this day as a cold weapon at the point of "civilization".

Since the Middle Ages in Europe, due to the continuous improvement of iron smelting technology, the protective function of soldiers' armor has become stronger and stronger, prompting the cold weapons of European countries to enter the era of cross swords.

"This kind of sword is really long." Someone couldn't help but say.

A sword that is more than one meter long is a bit difficult to hang on the body, and only people with tall arms and long arms can swing it.

"Cross sword, a long sword that was popular in Europe in the middle ages." Fang Xing said.

However, he didn't have much interest in this kind of long sword.

"So, it's the real thing?" Jackie Chan turned his head and asked Fang Xing.

Fang Xing nodded slightly: "It has a history of about 600 years. I can't say which country it is from. However, judging from its forging technology, it is a fine piece. At that time, it was probably only used by generals." of."

There are some smooth patterns on the hilt.

It can be seen from this that the cross sword was definitely not an ordinary sword at that time, and the owner who used it should have some status.

When Jackie Chan heard this, he immediately became interested and began to bargain with the manor owner.

In the end, they settled for $6.

Jackie Chan didn't know that the cross sword had been appraised, and the appraised value given by the appraisal agency was 5 US dollars.The owner of the manor is not stupid, and he will certainly not sell his family's things cheaply for no reason.

In fact, there are many treasures in his family.

From the previous generation, they began to sell these ancestral properties one after another to satisfy their own family's life enjoyment.

Xia Yu took a fancy to a knife.

It looks like a knife, but it's called a sword, a short sword.

"It's Zhongzheng Sword, help me see if it's real." Xia Yu handed it to Fang Xing.

40cm in length, tortoiseshell sword hilt, painted with 2 plum blossoms and the GM party emblem, and the national flag and GM party flag on the top.The scabbard is also decorated with plum blossoms on the top and bottom, the scabbard is painted yellow, and comes with a canvas sheath.

"Are modern swords worth collecting?" Someone asked.

"Generally speaking, modern swords are naturally worthless, but the Zhongzheng Sword is a bit special."

The Zhongzheng Sword is a portable short sword given by Lao Jiang to his Whampoa students, capable generals and meritorious personnel, and has become a symbol of glory.Even high-ranking generals who have studied in the Whampoa Military Academy, there are very few who have obtained this sword.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "That's right! Among modern swords, the Zhongzheng Sword is more valuable. If it's the real thing, it's not a problem if it costs more than tens of thousands of yuan."

However, it is precisely because of this that there are many counterfeit Zhongzheng swords in the domestic antique market.

Many of them just imitate the shape, roughly imitate, and many details can be compared at a glance.Many people who make imitations have not done in-depth research.Therefore, many details are ignored.

The handle of a real Zhongzheng sword is usually tortoise shell.There is also the style of the characters, most of the fake ones are computer lettering, which is very blunt.Because of the huge profits, there are many imitators.

As for ancient swords and swords, among the surviving collections of domestic swords and swords, most of them are from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

However, due to the lack of professional protection knowledge of many traders and collectors, they mistakenly believe that the more incomplete and rusty swords are, the more they will show their status as antiques, so that antique swords cannot be protected.

In order to obtain greater profits, some traders process and paint patterns on the already worn swords, so as to deceive the world.As a result, there are fewer swords worth buying in China.

Fang Xing looked at it for a while, then handed the dagger back: "It should be the real thing, but it's worn out, so the value has been discounted."

Xia Yu chatted with the owner of the manor for a while, and won it for $3000.

It can't be said to be a loss, but it can't make too much.In the domestic market, the Zhongzheng sword may cost around 2 RMB.

Suddenly, Fang Xing's eyes fell on a peculiar "weapon", which looked a bit like an axe, but it was actually a knife with a handle in the style of a magic weapon, and it was gilded with gold.

It can be appreciated in two parts, the first part is the five-cobalt vajra as a handle, and the second part is Capricornus and its spouting ax knife blade.

The blade unfolded from Capricorn's mouth, the front end is curved, and the curved blade is plump.

The front and back of the knife body are made of diamond mantras with wrong gold craftsmanship, the front is the eight-character mantra of Yamantaka, and the Chinese characters "Daming Yongle Nianshi" are made on the knife hook; the other side of the knife hook is "Daming Yongle Nianshi" in Tibetan Pinyin.

Fang Xing knew that this was not only a knife, but also a magic weapon.

The whole body of the ritual instrument is made of iron, and it is densely covered with complicated and delicate patterns with gold and silver craftsmanship.From the curly grass pattern of the cobalt fork to the dense scales of Capricornus, and then to the golden dragon pattern, all of them reflect its exquisite craftsmanship; while the natural and flexible curves and shapes, and the solemn and solemn tension, vividly interpret Buddhism. The mysterious and profound artistic charm of the device.

The manor owner has been paying attention to the expressions of Fang Xing and the others, and he can tell at a glance that Fang Xing is very interested in that item.

After all, it is also gilded, so it must not be sold cheaply.

"It only costs 20 US dollars." The manor owner told Fang Xing.

Xia Yu and the others were silent, 20 US dollars, equivalent to over 100 million RMB!Not cheap.

However, Fang Xing bought it without any hesitation.

This not only surprised Jackie Chan and the others, but also made the owner of the manor feel a little bit remorseful, feeling that he still yelled too conservatively and should be bolder.

What they didn't know was that the knife was a gold-plated iron dragon-pattern Yue knife from Ming Yongle, which once set an auction record of 6670 million yuan in China, and is currently the most expensive ancient knife in the world.

In the back are the Boateng saber of Emperor Qianlong, the gold inlaid saber of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the ear dagger of the Nasrid period in the 15th century.

20 US dollars is like picking it up for nothing, so Fang Xing didn't even bother to bargain.

The owner of the manor dissipated his depressed mood, and the $20 was also above his expectations.

In general, Jackie Chan is very satisfied with the Chinese people, and the transaction is happy.Next, I hope they can see a little more.

In Xu Qing's live broadcast room, everyone has already guessed that it must be a treasure.

It was not an ordinary treasure that Mr. Fang could buy for 20 US dollars. They had already seen Fang Xing's routines and styles.

Ordinary things are not worth Fang Xing's hands at all.

Jackie Chan and the others had a tacit understanding and did not ask on the spot. Although the owner of the manor could not understand Chinese, let's try to prevent it!
