I am looking for historical sources that might illustrate and clarify the history of the Dao sword/Chinese broad sword. I have been to several web pages of major sword manufacturers who claim that their version is historically accurate - but never point to the source. The images that I have seen on Swordforum.com and Ebay for older Daos are shaped very differently than the "functional historically accurate" modern versions by the manufacturers. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
