Good morning everybody! Just for info and interest: USPS still working OK to germany, but is taking VERY long to clear customs; i guess thats simply because of the crisis. All airports and customs offices are working with "skeleton crews". Shipping only took about 6 days (knife); thats quite fast. Sword from forumite (in guncase!) took over three weeks now to reach the customs office, with only 10 days shipping time.

If American owners/dealers have so much trouble selling to Europe and other areas, why do they restrict the sales to USA when there is a market in Australia and New Zealand? Sooooo many good swords for sale in the USA yet almost all of them, USA Only!

Other companies don't have this problem but are more expensive.

Just received a sword from the US to Germany. Shipping via USPS went without problems.

During the last weeks, I have received several shippings from China to Germany without problems.

Now follows the conclusion, that whosoever shall think or find himself in his fight too weak for the agent's, or patient agent, and therefore, or by reason of his drunkenness, or unreasonable desperateness shall press within the half sword, or desperately run in of purpose to give hurt, or at least for taking of one hurt, to give another, shall most assuredly be in great danger of death or wounds, and the other shall still be safe and go free.
