Ebay UK ban sale of "samarai swords"

Thank you Kate. Very helpful the plain facts. As far as I can read a collector falls into no5. If you are to wave a sword around outside of an antique market or militaria fair, it might be difficult to use paragraph 5 as defence. Perhaps things are not so bad. The shock of the new law will of course be missread and turn many people off from having anything to do with swords. I still feel the prices will go up.
