A fight director should be employed to choreograph any weapon orientated combat. Never overrule the advice of the armourer, fight director, or other weapons specialist. Weapons should be locked in a secure dry area, or kept under guard by security when not in use. In theatre productions, dangerous weapons or small easily removable weapons should be locked up and not left on the props table overnight . There are no hard and fast rules concerning the movement of swords etc.
Security is the primary rule when transporting weapons.
If a weapon is lost or stolen, it should be reported to the police at once. When moving weapons abroad, some countries are very stringent about blades. Keep the airline, airport and other appropriate authorities informed. It is best to travel with weapons such as swords dismantled. I will add to this page as more information becomes available.
