Greg Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 very nice, how do they fall under the sword laws, are they considered antiquities and exempt from the martial arts rules of sale? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi Greg, yes from memory if they are made before 1958 I think the date is, then they are legal and classed as Antiquities. This one is now gone but got another on saturday hope to get it on the website this week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david f Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I would love one of these, but like Macca I know nothing about it and I know that they are heavily faked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes Jap swords are very complicated especially the signed ones, the second sword we got in was an officers and turned out to be a fake so you have to be very careful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
