Antique Weapon Store

The owner started collecting over 50 years ago with a handful of Civil War and WWII pieces. He kept buying—slowly at first, then with focus. The turning point came when he realized what other collectors told him: sell the lesser pieces, trade up, and dramatically improve what you actually keep. That philosophy became the business.
