I am not Britta herself, but her boyfriend. Here in Germany weapons, which are disguised as another thing, are not allowed for many decades now. Which a special licence, some collectors, but mostly museums, own such things. In a small village in Swabian Alb mountains, there once, up to 1960s/ early 1970s there had been an astonishing number of whipmaking companies. There was ( perhaps still is) a small museum about whips. In the collection, there was a whip, once owned by a coach/ wagon driver, in the shaft or handle a daggerlength spike is hidden. Being a freight coachdriver was even in Germany sometimes not a safe job. A greatgrandfather of me had this job, and my father told me, that his grandfather one day had to cross ,Schurwald' heights and at a lonesome forest road, he got troubles with two strange men. After this incident he bought ,brass knuckles'.
The Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988, ISBN 0-11-088019-6 also made it illegal to trade in sword canes in England and Wales. However, antique swordsticks which are 100 years old or older are exempt. This was the case here. Also the UK under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 because they are exempt from the Criminal Justice Act 1988 if they are over 100 years old. A person is not allowed to carry them on in public though
Swordsticks are so much more elegant and actually have a proper handle. They are just damn cool. These cane swords I've seen are just ridiculous. How do you use a sword with a cane handle? Cane handles look ridiculous as it is. Thanks for the video. Next time I am in UK...
I cannot find the swordsticks on your website. Did you sell them all? That military swordstick and the one before it are nice. How long is the military one? It looks about 120cm.
The are under our blades and weapons category but here is a link to some: sallyantiques.co.uk/product-category/firearms-blades-other-weapons/sword-sticks/

A friend of mine had a sword cane growing up. It had a silver ring on the cane. You turned it to unlock it, blade would slide out. Neat stuff
Excellent pieces
How informative! Thank you.

@@sallyantiques Thanks!
Thrombosis of a wounded or infected area is a serious problem.
Have not sword sticks become banned/illegal to possess, even in a person's private dwelling?
Yes, they are now illegal to possess even in your own domicile..?
@@Cornz38 They are, yes.
@@ianmcklatchie4390 Hmm, seems IF it is an antique (over 100 years old) then the laws is a bit different and you can possess it privately.
how to ordet sir
A sword stick is an offensive weapon per se in UK. No defence.
