New website

In this new and exciting website, I am selling a fine selection of militaria and antique British swords and edged weapons.  They range in style and period and include British Napoleonic swords, British Victorian or 19th Century swords, British swords from the English Civil War and British swords from the First World War and later.

Here are some pictures of antique British swords that I have sold in the past.  I always ensure that the swords are photographed clearly and cover all angles – hilt, blade, blade detail, markings, scabbard etc.

I know what the collector wants and needs to see.
