    It's 30 quid. It's more than likely fake/replica/kid's toy.

    And I don't think so, I know it's legal to own a sword if you a licence for martial arts purposes or something.

    I have a few hideous 'decorative' knives around the house, I'd say the katana is fake

    Not that one another seller has a set of them : 'Sharp and dangerous' he says.

    No, the 1990 Firearms and Offensive Weapons act says you can't carry one in a public place.. doesn't say you can't own them.

    i know nunchucks can be kept in your own home and used under the supervision of a trained person in a safe enviroment (training hall). when transporting them they must be coverd and in a bag

    wonder if this is the same for swords????

    I think in order to buy one you must have a letter from the main guy of a martial arts dojo. I know they were trying to control sword crime (supposedly it's a problem) so wanted to stop people from getting them unless they are properly trained. Makes the polics reports far more interesting
