in the Japan army who's life was spared was spared for several reason's, what I'm asking is eBay the place to sell this kind of thing or is there a better place to list it, someone said it belonged in a museum , I'm not disagreeing with that, but the person is selling it because they need money and I'm not sure how to go about asking a museum if they even want to buy it, really I'm kind of lost so any help would be great, thanks in advance Mike.

According to Canadian law, a sword is not a weapon, so it shouldn't be banned from ebay.

A sword is a piece of sporting equipment (fencing), a ceremonial tool (knighting), a costume accessory (halloween), or a wall decoration.

In order for it to be considered a weapon, it has to be used in a threatening manner or used to injure someone.
