Inspection & Shipping Policy

Inspection Period

We offer a 48 hour inspection period for all Antique items shipped within the United States only. If the item is not to your satisfaction, we will gladly refund your money less any shipping and handling fees. The 48 hour period starts the moment the item is delivered to your address, not when you start inspecting it. Please contact us to let us know if you will be keeping the item within that time frame. If we do not receive any communication within the 48 hour inspection period, you will have been deemed to have accepted the item or item’s. Please note any item that is returned to us altered or damaged in any way will not warrant a refund. If a buyer personally alters the item upon receiving it or request us to polish the sword or to do any repairs without seeing the sword in hand first the buyer assumes the responsibility, and this also will void the inspection period.

All sales are final after the 48 hour inspection period. Also international sales are fine unless there is a specific reason for a return. Because most attributions on swords or signatures are based on opinions (expert or otherwise) we cannot guarantee any signatures to be real or fake, unless otherwise stated in the item description as guaranteed.

If the item is not to your satisfaction, please contact us to let us know you will be returning it. Please ship the item back, within 48 hours of receipt, the same way it was shipped to you. The item must be in the same condition as you received it or a refund will not be issued. Please insure the item for its full value, you are responsible for it while it is in transit.

Shipping outside the USA is not a problem but please remember to give us any special instructions “if necessary” for customs via email before we ship.
