Well the offensive & banned weapons law has been around a long time.
Post 1908 swords with curved blades of 50cm or more will be illegal as flicknives, butterfly knives, knuckle knives etc. {straight blades Oct. 2008.}
They will be listed in that same law section.
As Krockew says Trying to tell policmen , "its ok i collect them" is not realy going to work at the time.
One doesnt notice generaly notice massive trade in them even as antiques in the UK or see them shown at many fairs etc.
Sadley with Ethnographic pieces its hard to prove whether they are pre. or post 1908, & with this law the burden of proof of defense is with the sword owner.
