lol er its just for show really and for role playing im 18 in july but my friends 18 so hes buying mine and his

 

if it's for show and role play you won't be wanting a live blade anyway so don't think there will be any legality problems.

 

well.. im quite sure, if you use it for role playing and stuff...
a nice looking fake one could do good.
arent swords illegal in UK??
dno but really much things are illegal in UK, like many games and stuff =P

 

not exactly, as long as you have a "good reason" (ceremonial/religious/national dress, reinactment, religious ceremonies, etc) it is legal to have one in public, but obviously just walking out with one and waving it around is quite illegal.

 

Uk sword law as it pertains to curved swords did change back in 2008: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2008/pdf/uksi_20080973_en.pdf

Much like a good chunk of other UK law it is horrifically imprecise though.

If you are so inclined though amazon (or at least some of those running shops there) do a good line in wooden swords and weapons.

I will also mention the police in your chosen city do not look kindly on such things (pretty much only London is worse as far as England goes).
