This is an incredible, extremely rare weapon from the Chu Culture and dates to the Warring States period (circa 400 BC). It is called a Pi and was used as both a spear and a sword (or dagger). This is one of the rarest weapon types from ancient China and you will not likely see another one like it anywhere at any price. Ancient Asian bronze is becoming rarer by the day. This piece is a guaranteed investment. It measures roughly 46 cm in length and weighs 425 grams...
