very nice, how do they fall under the sword laws, are they considered antiquities and exempt from the martial arts rules of sale?

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 :)

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.
