Hi Bill,
Not sure about swords, other than if they have any ivory it can be a real pain.. But bought an 18th century matchlock from Canada and shipped into USA. It had to go through a broker and delivered to a firearms dealer in the USA. AM thinking any antique firearm now is a higher cost to bring into the country.
And have checked on taking a collection of swords to Europe, they want you to prepay a tax as if you had sold them all. Needless to say that killed that plan. Do not travel much so maybe someone with more travel experience can chime in here.
