Is it legal to buy a replica Movie Sword in the UK?
I really want a replica Kill Bill Samurai Sword, however i know the possession of REAL Samurai Swords is illegal in the UK, but would this be acceptable?

Thanks for your help
How could i find out if it is illegal to own this, as i really am a fan of the film and, would just like it for display purposes.
Antique swords are exempt from the ban. People who belong to an exempt group may be able to obtain a license. I don’t think you are allowed to buy replica swords, and you will not be able to import it. Most overseas sellers won’t attempt to export swords to the UK for individual buyers.
