How to sell a sword cane?

Last year, when I was clearing out the house of my recently deceased Dad, I came across a sword cane. It looks like a walking stick made out of birch but contains a very lethal looking long blade.
I'm pretty sure these sorts of things cannot be sold on eBay or a car boot etc, so I was wondering if anyone on here had any advice on how I should proceed without running foul of the law.
The only option I can think of is to use an auctioneer.

An auctioneer is probably your best bet due to the restriction on blades.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
