do u need a license for a real sword?

[blackkat5]

Not in England and Wales, though you do have to be careful carrying them in public and have a legitimate reason for having one really.

Good video!

Glad that there are people who make an effort to keep the tradition alive.

[Supertomiman]

seriously they're huge

[Nikos3000]

No, these are late period rapier, from around 1630-1640, more typical of Alfieri than the longer earlier stuff such as Capo Ferro.

[Nikos3000]

Historical examples vary massively, though yes both daggers seen here are at the larger end of the scale, we have a huge variety in the club.
