Militaria
There is huge interest in this field - we sell swords, edged weapons and guns every month. We are not a licensed arms dealer, so are unable to sell category 1 firearms that require a license, but we regularly sell antique guns of obsolete calibre, flintlock and percussion rifles, air rifles, swords, bayonets and knives at both our antique sale and general sales.
We also sell a large selection of medals, including military, civil and sporting. Of particular note was a unique double George medal group which sold for £14,000.

"We found the people at Burstow and Hewett incredibly friendly and knowledgeable people, and there is easy parking and access. Would highly recommend!"
