If you get a browser alert, it is because this page has JavaScript on it. The best way to contact us (and the method we prefer) to enquire about buying a sword or other edged weapon shown on this site, or if you want to contact us regarding valuing or buying a sword, is to do so by email. If you have JavaScript enabled, you will see and be able to click the link below; If you have JavaScript disabled, you will have to type out the email address manually. Here is a photograph of that email address (you can not click it, you have to type it out yourself);
We go to such lengths to prevent automated email harvesters from getting our email addresses to add to pharmacy, etc. sales spam lists. Please note: We do not sell sword parts (other than those listed on vBid Me) or provide sword refurbishment services (WeI recommend Crisp & Sons in England), sorry. Payment Methods Paying by IBAN (EU to EU bank transfers) Paying by International bank transfer Paying by UK Direct Bank Deposit Western Union Exchange Rates Discounts We am sometimes asked for a discount. Generally we do not discount for new customers, though you are welcome to ask (just expect us to say "No" though and be pleasantly surprised if we say "Yes"). We do however offer a discount for repeat customers. Repeat customers receive a 10% discount on additional items up to the value of previous non-discounted orders; this means if you buy / have only bought a bayonet from us for £100 and then ask for a discount on a £1000 sword, we will only be able to offer 10% of £100. We also offer a 10% discount to serving officers of any NATO country, and also to those serving in the Australian or New Zealand armed forces. Your Security / Terms & Conditions We have sold hundreds of swords around the world both from our own sales site and eBay (for example see: Snr Sword - we are no longer am registered with eBay because of their tightening and maddening ban on swords, amongst other things, but you can see weI had 100% positive feedback from our customers). You can pay us by bank transfer to our UK bank account or by PayPal or by Western Union. UK bank and PayPal accounts are not easily come by and do they do not tolerate unethical and / or poorly described transactions; we have held our bank and PayPal accounts in good accord for years. We guarantee all of the items for sale here are authentic and as described, except where we include doubt ("I / we think", "I / we believe", etc.). If you buy an item which is not as described from us, I will refund the cost including return shipping as long as the item is in the same condition as it left us; the burden of proof regarding incorrectly described items is with the customer of course. We can only accept returns for refund if notified of an issue within 4 weeks of the date of receipt by you of an item; it may take longer to return the item to us, etc. but you must make a claim within 4 weeks of the delivery of the item to your specified delivery address. If you buy / pay for an item from us and then change your mind, we may take it back and refund if you are honest about the matter; we may require a restocking fee if we do accept an item back in such a scenario. We try to include condition information in the item descriptions but you should ask specific questions and ask for specific images if in any doubt. Remember, most of the items on this site are antiques that have seen harsh use. We keep the full sized images of the photos on this site on PC's and are happy to provide these but not for re-use (if you want a photo of a sword for a web site or anything else, please be open and ask up front). We do not suggest writing to or calling (as we believe it is always good for both parties to have electronic / documented records of what is discussed), but for the record the contact details are; Sword Sales UK Tel: +44 (0)844 7749577 Or Sword Sales EU Our best contact number being in Spain and available to callers
worldwide; Customs The buyer is responsible for ensuring they are legally able to import whatever they buy from us. A good reference for this is the Universal Postal Union Restrictions By Country page; simply look for the country you are resident in and check Section XIX / Chapter 93 which covers arms under that country. We do not take any responsibility for this; we only take responsibility for (guarantee) clearing outbound customs; Iberia (Spain / Portugal), New Zealand or the UK (wherever the purchased item is, it will be sent from - we have addresses in all three, though most of our swords are in the Iberian Peninsula). Some countries allow antique / collector's edged weapons but only with a import permit; it is the buyer's responsibility to check. European Union: Shipments within the EU do not matter UNLESS the member state you are in classifies antiques weapons as literal weapons, not collector's items / antiques. The only EU state we are aware of with any issues in this respect is the Netherlands, but we will happily send items there as it is the buyer's responsibility to check. Sending goods within the EU is legally "Movement of Goods", not export / import. Many people in the UK think swords are banned there; antique and collector's swords (such as WW2 Japanese and German edged weapons) are not banned at all; only so called "Samurai" swords (cheap copies of Japanese Katanas) are banned. Of course, all countries prohibit people from carrying swords in public, but to keep at home the swords you see here are not a problem. Outside the EU: Buyers have the responsibility of checking with their domestic Customs authority to determine if the item they are interested in is permitted / requires an import permit or not. None of our items require an export license because they fall under the financial thresholds set by EC Regulation 3911/92 which governs antiques and in particular which items can be considered restricted "cultural goods".
