Important Information

All new customers will be subject to a check on the edited UK Electoral Roll to confirm an age of 18 years old or over.

If your name is not on the edited UK Electoral Roll then we will ask for additional proof of age ie. a scan of a driving licence or similar document to verify your age before we process your order.

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 07907 569384


To ensure that your order is dealt with quickly please ensure that you provide us with your full name (no nicknames or abbreviations) and please ensure that you enter the address that your payment card is registered at, as your billing details.

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
Blades and Bows
33 Clowne Road
Barlborough
Derbyshire
S43 4EH

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 (and spam box!!) 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 have been two versions of the Electoral Roll available. The full Electoral Roll and the edited Electoral Roll.

The full Electoral Roll lists all people who are entitled to vote but access to this list is restricted by law, only the Police, security services and credit reference agencies can search the full version of the UK Electoral Roll.

It is possible to opt out of the edited Electoral Roll. by means of ticking a box on the Electoral roll form. Once you have opted out then your listing will not be seen by firms like us who use the Electoral Roll for identity checks. We can only view the edited version. If this is the case, we will need to see additional proof of age before we can process your order.
