Hi I tried to take a small amateur copy of a painting out of the country some time ago, and was stopped in doing so. Apparently I needed a passport for the item. I would think that this sword would fall into this category. The is a place in the Old Arbat where you can have the item examined and appraised as it its cultural value. I do not know the exact address, however you could ring Domoodedovo Airport at 88002003366, and they may be able to tell you.
