Blades and Bows Important Checkout Information

It is illegal for us to sell knives, swords or crossbows to anyone under 18 years of age.

To avoid this we have to carry out standard age checks on all new customers before we can process and dispatch your order

The steps we will carry out are;

1. A check to see if your name is on the public* version of the Electoral Roll, if it is then your order will be processed and dispatched. If your name is not listed then,

2. We will contact you by e-mail asking for proof of age.

Please provide us with a scan of any ID which shows clearly your name and date of birth.

A clear digital photo or a scan will do.

E-mails should be sent to bladesandbows1@btinternet.com.

Picture messages should be sent to 07977 697558 (O2)

Any scans or picture messages are deleted as soon as the information has been processed and no copies are kept.

If you cannot e-mail or text your ID then a photocopy could be sent by post to

If you cannot send any proof of age we will have to cancel your order

We will only request proof of age once and once it is given the customers account will be updated, this will mean any further age checks for future orders will be unnecessary.

Please make sure that you check your e-mails when you have placed your order because if we have to ask for proof of age and you do not reply your order will be delayed and/or cancelled.

*Since 2002, there are 2 versions of the Electoral Roll available, Full Electoral Roll and Edited Electoral Roll. The full Electoral Roll lists all people who are entitled to vote but access is restricted by law, only the Police, security services and credit reference agencies can search the full version of the UK electoral roll.

We can only access the edited Electoral Roll, so if you have opted out of the edited version then we will need alternative proof of age.
