DC advance notice, I do not have this sword, find this piece but very nice. I'm a fan and lover of Asian films and their weapons. Although this sword is a Dekowaffe, this weapon is ground seemingly sharp. Due to the lack Tsuba and the straight blade of this sword looks more like a stick. The problem here is that this could be committing an offense under the Arms Act the owner of such a sword might. Because according to § 42a para. 1 no. 2 Weapons Act it is prohibited to carry certain items, which are listed in Appendix 2 of the Arms Act. In the plant 2 is then again that dealing (... this includes the property ...) with "blunt or sharp weapons that are in form suitable to feign another object, or with everyday objects disguised "prohibited (point 1.3.1). Therefore, this sword gets only one star, although I find it quite very presentable. But there is unfortunately a risk that you could be liable to prosecution.
