Re: @ShelLuser
Oddly enough the last weapon I bought was from Holland. 4th - 5th Century Germanic spear, semi sharp (easier to get through customs than full razor edge and only takes another couple of hours to bring it up to silk slicing).
I recommend celticwebmerchant for all your weapon needs in Holland, though you can get some real craftsmanship out of some of the Polish artisans.
My name is Omgwtfbbqtime and I am a reenactor...
I quite often have a car full of sharps that are designed purely for causing severe organic damage.
I do not do any period after the Twelfth Century so never bothered to get a shotgun permit - being a reenactor is considered an acceptable reason to be granted a the firearms permit in the UK as the shotgun permit covers black powder weapons.
This does not mean that I do not possess ranged weapons, I have javelins, slings, bows - any and all are lethal with practice.
- and yes, I have been stopped by the Police with a full load on the way to an event, had a good chat and on the way I went no issues.
