"There is nothing quite like a fine antique weapon to evoke feelings of nostalgia.  To think of the skilled craftsmen who made it and for whom, where it has been and in which conflicts it may have played its part.  Did it sail the high seas, defend a great nation in battle, or someone’s honour at dawn?  Not only is it an item of beauty and history but often one which has endured the tests of time against all odds.  Just imagine what stories it could tell…. "

Our site is regularly being updated with new items so please feel free to browse. However, if there is anything you are looking for in particular please let us know. 

We hope you will find our site of interest.

Testamonials:

'I must say it's a great little pistol and good value for money. I'm very pleased with it. It's nice to see a dealer that isn't afraid to sell a few lower end items for us impoverished novice collectors! Please keep them coming, I'll be watching.'

Thanks yet again for all your efforts, and I hope to be buying more items from you in the near future.'

The rifle arrived safe and sound today - very many thanks. It's a superb example, and I'm extremely pleased with it. I look forward greatly to shooting it at my club in due course, once placed on ticket.
