Body armour, swords, knives shop permits?

[MadMike]

Hello,

If a shop sells swords, knives and steel body armour (knights, samurai, etc.) , what permits might they need to make it legal? Same for a online shop, what might they need?

Also what might be the costs for getting the permits or any other legal costs that might come up under Commercial Law?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,
I have looked through NSW legislation and the NSW Police website and the items you have mentioned are not classified as prohibited weapons under the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998. That is unless they are concealed weapons. I couldn't find anything about needing a permit or licence to sell them either but you could contact the NSW Police firearms branch ( they seem to be the only group that requires dealers to be licenced) to see if they can help: [email protected]
