Can a Brit. Commando knife be shipped to the UK from US?

[Lunarphase]

I'm interested in mailing a WWII Commando Fighting knife to the UK from here in the US, but from what I could find, it is not permitted because it is a military style knife (1943) and not over 100 years old. Can someone with experience with this give me some insight? I would prefer not to risk loosing it due to it's history.

Thanks in advance,
Stewart

Just read your link. Can you take a $hit in England with out a permit ? The foul smell would be considered offensive. I find it difficult to believe the prohibited weapons lists.

It depends on the nature of the weapon. Some (male) weapons might fall fowl of the pornography laws!

Yes I have read through those, so you all understand my dilemma.
Is there anyone with experience shipping WWII knives to the UK, that can pitch in?

Thanks

Not if it is a sharp photograph.
