I agree Kronckew, essentialy our swords are worth infinatly less than they were, , accept in illegal sales, but without ebay they are just worth local village junk shop England prices , not international world market prices.
Sadly I doubt if the Torys would do it differently, they all just run the country for their own ends & those of there mates, they just play with the population & newspapers etc. But I digress.
But as I said in this thread...
linky...
"If you live in "Blighty" "land of the free" & want a longish curved blade youve got 8 weeks to get it."
I would now add to that statement , it seems likley that if you want a longish straight blade in or from England you've got 6 months left to get it, {or sell it if you dont want it.}
Luckily I took my own advice. But theres still some pieces I would have liked that I will probably never own.
I think this law should have been introduced yesterday, Aprill fools day would have been a suitible timing.
