Hornberger Antique Arms

Hornberger Antique Arms handles fine antique firearms and edged weapons—hand-made before 1888. Because everything pre-dates modern manufacture, no federal license is required for purchase or ownership. Patrick Hornberger has been buying, selling, and appraising antique arms since 1989.
