<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 1487769, member: 360&quot;]Where I live, here in Australia - owning stuff like clubs, batons, truncheons and pocketknives do not, as far as I know, require any sort of paperwork or certificates.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, you do need a permit (an &quot;edged weapons license&quot;, I believe it&#039;s called) to sell, or own stuff like bayonets, hunting knives, and swords. Like - you CAN bid on, and purchase - antique swords and bayonets at auction here in Australia - but to pay for it and take it away with you if you win it - you have to produce paperwork showing that you&#039;re permitted to own and/or sell them. Auction-houses list this condition of sale in their documentation before each auction. </p><p><br /></p><p>And if you do sell them, obviously you can only sell them to people who also carry edged-weapons licenses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently, the permits pretty easy to get, according to a friend of mine who collects edged weapons, but I&#039;ve never bothered to apply for one because the chances of me ever owning any bayonets is pretty slim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
