IT'S THE LAW
IT'S THE LAW (Reference #GUN LAW)
If you order any of the guns on our website marked V.C.R. in the original advertised finish, you must be an Airsoft Skirmisher, Re-Enactor from all or any periods, theatres and theatre groups, television and film companies, museums and galleries.security, military & several others! If you don't fall within these categories, please order the gun in a bright yellow finish. If you purchase in the original finish you will be registered as a member of the Battle Orders Historical Re-Enactment Club Ltd you must still provide proof of your exempton your details will be kept on record and you are confirming it is legal for you to buy the gun and that you are over 18. Its important for you to know that this law is confusing and very difficult for all of us to understand. So please be aware here at Battle Orders we will have to get confirmation from you as to your exemption group and ask you to provide proof. It will slow the process of dispatch so i apologise for any delay. It is all of our own best interest and again it is only as a Battle Orders customers buying direct from us that we can be sure your subscribing to the law.

Of course, if you have any questions, here at Battle Orders we will do our best to answer them, or you can contact the Home Office on 020 70354848 for further details or visit their website at www.opsi.gov.uk






The Violent crime reduction act. 2006 commenced with section 36 dealing with the import and selling of realistic imitation firearms on the 1st of October 2007. What does it mean to you . There are several DEFENCES&EXEMPTIONS . Let me assure you if you have bought a replica gun before the first of October 2007 you can own it legally. However from the first of October 2007 Battle Orders can supply replica guns with a design dating before 1870 [this covers most of the western guns] other models may have to be painted in bright colours. For example: the Luger P08 picture shown here is our original replica brightly painted in yellow. we can supply television, films and organizations such as re-enactment societies & if you are a member of a re-enactment society you will be able to to buy the guns in the original finish. The complete Act runs to many pages and can be viewed at www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2006/ukpga obviously here at Battle Orders we have done much research including contacting lawyers so that we can continue with our 35 years plus business. In essence if we are offering items on our website you can buy them in complete confidence that they are legal for you to buy and own providing you give evidence of your exemption status & of course that you are over 18.

NEW LAW ON SAMURAI AND CURVED BLADED SWORDS

As of 6 April 2008 a new category has been added to the Criminal Justice Offensive Weapons law of 1998. Our understanding here at Battle Orders is that it affects curved swords over 50cms in length from the handle to the tip of the blade. The defences allowed include use of the blade for practising sport where blades are traditionally used. We believe this means Samurai Swords can be sold to Martial Artist over 18 with a valid license. Other curved swords such as Sabres will be permitted for use by Re-enactors. The full New Law can be sent to you with our compliments on request or you can call the Home Office for their advise. As it is the police who will enforce this law it may also be advisable to contact your local police for further information. Please understand here at Battle Orders we can only read and apply this law to the extent of our understanding and legal advice taken. If in doubt please speak to us direct at Battle Orders on 01323 485182 NO RESTRICTION ON OVERSEAS SALES.
