Chinese officer's sword

Chinese officer's swords were dress swords issued to People's Liberation Army officers during the Sino-American War. These weapons most likely entered America as war trophies brought back by US soldiers, or were smuggled into the country by Chinese forces to support infiltrators and fifth columnists.
