The collection
Nearly four centuries of martial history, held together under one roof: flintlocks and edged weapons from the age of sail, percussion and cartridge arms from the wars of empire, and the rifles, uniforms, and insignia of the twentieth century's global conflicts. Every piece is catalogued with what's known of its origin and service history.
A note on access
This is a private collection, not a shopfront — pieces are shown by appointment. Browse the media and documents for a look at what's in the cabinets, and get in touch below to arrange a visit.
