many Paul Chen "Imitations" on Fleabay...

What you are looking for is "Paul Chen" or "Hanwei" Orchid...NOT Blue Orchid with Paul Chen/Hanwei OIL !

refine your search to Hanwei...
When Doing a search for Japanese Sword...Do Advance Search option / Min Price £50  Items Located in UK...This will filter out all the CRAP for you.

Latest :

Your ownership is protected by the grandfather clause - whereby swords you own before April 2008 are legal , buying and selling and importing and exporting are illegal after April 2008 - you can leave your swords to your family and friends after you die as legally owned property belonging to your estate - they can then keep them legally but any resale will be illegal .

When hand guns were banned after the Dunblane massacre they were confiscated wholesale by the police and the government had to fork out a massive amount of cash to pay all the owners for their property - thats why this time a grandfather clause is there to protect pre ban ownership.

Some UK sword dealers are already selling the new Chen elite range at 30% off the market value - a shinto elite last month at Barrington swords was £499 this week its selling at £340 - expect this trend to explode as we get into the new year because all the dealers over here will not be able to sell anything online in April .

BTW all the Katana prices on the website are currently about £330 and not £1200+ as mentioned on EEKBay  :?
