Antique swords; sales, purchasing, identification and valuations.

Guaranteed authentic, quality vintage / collectors & antique swords for sale to / in the UK, EU, USA, Australia, New Zealand & worldwide; most countries do not charge duty! We buy, identify and value sword / sabres, etc. as well.

We buy and sell mostly French, Japanese, Scottish, German and British antique swords, plus other edged weapons (sabres, cutlasses, dirks, broadswords, backswords, rapiers, basket hilts, shamshirs, katanas, mamelukes, shashkas, bayonets, daggers, kris / keris, etc.).

The reason we buy swords is because we love to collect! The reason we sell them is because we only have so much display space, and selling swords allows us to experience a greater number and buy more! Actually, antique swords represent one of the best and most evocative investments you can make. Antiques are proven recession busters, plus you get to handle swords, the epitome of honour and bravery; possibly once held and even used in terrible close combat during famous battles such as Waterloo. Antique swords in particular have steadily risen in value for the last 10 years or more.

Our areas of primary interest are Napoleonic swords, British infantry swords & cavalry sabres, British naval swords (including dirks and cutlasses), Japanese katanas & wakizashis, Russian shashkas, Ottoman / Persian shamshirs, but we will collect anything nice and evocative. If you have a sword you might like to sell (see: buying / selling swords), we would like to hear from you. If you need a sword ID'd / valued please visit: identifications / valuations.
