Full description and what we offer
Based in South Central Pennsylvania—home territory for early American history—Beaver Creek Arms has spent over three decades building expertise in antique and collectible firearms. What started in 1986 as country antiques gradually shifted toward military antiques, then firearms. Today they serve over 5,500 customers nationwide.
This isn't a typical gun shop. They specialize in firearms with real historical or collector value—meaning rarity, condition, technological significance, or combinations that matter. Every item gets selected with that in mind.
Specific Services: - Appraisals: Photo-documented, descriptive appraisals of firearms and military antiques. They consult first to separate valuable pieces from common stock, then recommend which items justify formal appraisal. - Collection Consulting: Work with family members, executors, and attorneys to evaluate and manage disposition of entire collections or individual pieces. - Disposition Management: Direct marketing to collectors, consignment sales, and auction placement recommendations based on item type and market conditions. - Buying: Active buyer of firearms and collections meeting their criteria. Immediate payment available. - Inventory: Continuously sourced antique and modern collectible firearms, plus military items (medals, flags, daggers, optics, bayonets, swords).
"Mr. Clark handled my consignment as if it were his own. The item which I was attempting to sell was of great historical value, but also of great personal value as it was passed down through my family for many years. He took the same appreciation for the item as I did." — AJ Carpenter, Lebanon, PA
700+ reference books on-site for research, backed by a network of experts in specialized areas. Photos are detailed and descriptive—flaws shown clearly rather than hidden.
Membership includes: - National Rifle Association - Kentucky Rifle Association - Colt Collectors Association - Smith & Wesson Collectors Association - Garand Collectors Association - Certified Dealer & Lifetime member of The MAX Show
The Key Difference: They distinguish "wheat" from "chaff" early. Valuable pieces get national marketing and justified expense. Common stock moves locally for efficiency. This approach maximizes your return regardless of what you're selling.
