Why would a search be conducted at the house? Never mind.
Even if it was, you can own this and the sword in your own home without issue. If you don't want them, sell them.
I was given a Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife and sheath in similar circs by my mother as she didn't want it in her house. Long story slightly shorter - During a firearms search of a chap's house (he collected firearms and Hitler/Nazi/WWII memorabilia) I spotted a similar FS black handled knife. He said he'd bought it for £80 on something called Ebay. I had no use for mine and I'm not sentimental so I opened an account and put mine on Ebay and added that my father had brought it home after service in Europe in 1945 etc. It was on £76 with seconds to go which I thought was excellent.
It sold (Jan '04) for £865 to a Dutch collector. csb.
There must be a market for them and somewhere you can put them up for sale/auction and then treat yourself and or parents with any resultant cash.
