Known as the Transitional type (
公議
/
匯號過渡型
), only found among Outside-Kunming specimens made within an extremely short transitioning period between
公議
(
Publicly Agreed
) and
匯號公估
(
Remittance Bank Public Assayers
), Saddle sycees like this one bearing two types of chops that belong to two completely different time periods (
公議 &
匯號)
carry a significant historical importance, they are regarded as one of the rarest and arguably the most important type of all saddle sycees, less than a dozen specimens are known to exist, all held in private collections, this remarkably rare type has never been offered for sale at any auctions in China/HK/TW and beyond. Many well-made counterfeits of this type have been seen over the years. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire something as special as this. 100% original condition with thick toning.
Keep in mind that MOST sycees being offered on eBay are counterfeits.
All my items are Life-Time Genuine Guaranteed.
If you have questions in regard to sycee of any kind, feel free to let me know.
