Best place to buy swords?

[RhysMichael]

As was noted it depends on what you are looking for but I have had good luck with England and the Netherlands by mail and would love to get over to either of them to poke around in the antique shops

No, I have avoided buying weapons in countries with strict restrictions, besides, what I collect is said to be more expensive in the homeland than in London – if the quality is right.

What kind of weapons are you looking for?

That is true. Lot more expensive. I said London for few reasons: They had an empire. They had lot of travelers around the world last 300 years. Collecting was mass habit. Lot of auctions, flee markets and antique shops.

Exporting an item is a pain. Importing it in some countries is more pain. Not for England. So

Rule Britannia... Britannia rule the blades!
