I'm coming over to Cyprus in June and I have this antique bayonet I want to bring with me. It's really old but I have a feeling it's not exactly a good idea to take it on a plane with me since it's basically a 10inch sword... :?

I want to take it so my cousin can put it on eBay Turkey....they're selling for loads of money on there, and I have 2 so I don't mind selling 1 of them....but HOW do I get it to Cyprus???

I do not think it is illegal to have it in your case in the hold.You will not be able to take it into the cabin.Ring the airline and ask about taking an antique.

Well let's see

To start with I discovered the power of nepotism ....


I used a friend of a cousin, to negotiate nearly 1000 Euro off a car for me ... I have NEVER done that before (successfully).


Me happy ... not because of the money, but just 'cos it's a new experience .... :lol:

Besides it's a great car, my son loves it and I am going to teach him to drive in my dad's field .....

Cyprus .... the place for new life-affirming experiences ... :D
