That's surprising, Lemur. I thought as an EU country, Sweden would adhere to the CITES rules for endangered species, making pre-ban ivory legal to sell in member states. Although the ivory ban in 1986 has very strict restrictions, it is legal for EU countries to buy and sell any 'worked' antique ivory items that pre-date 1947. The proviso is the word 'worked' - it means that it must be in its original finished form, not re-worked into something else or otherwise modified. In other words it must be in the same finished form as it was pre-1947.
