Anyone deal in WW1 C&R?

Discussion about Curios and Relics and the special rules that apply to ownership and sale of these firearms.

Anyone deal in WW1 C&R?

Postby Kreutz » Sat, 27 Aug 2011 18:10:50

Mostly interested in German (will probably get a Steyr 95) or British small arms(ideally a Webley revolver .455), maybe someone has had dealings with someone?

Most C&R sites sell Russian Empire or Eastern Bloc stuff it seems.
So rattle my bones all over the stones, I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns. Oh, see how words as old as sin, fit me like a glove.

Tidewater Military Traders, aka "Echoes of Glory". Their website (http://classicfirearmsechoesofglory.com/) isn't great, but their store is. It is located in Virginia Beach. They have frequent online auctions as well.

I've dealt with all three. You have to be careful with Salter and Kroh, at least with British stuff, as they pretty consistently overgrade their wares. They do get some very rare and unusual items, though, which is why I keep tabs on them.

Brian I can recommend unreservedly. His stuff is legit, and if it has any issues, he'll tell you. Usually it doesn't, beyond the usual rebarreling, replacement parts, etc. that are a fact of life for old military guns. (He is a personal friend, so full disclosure.)

If you need more options, let me know. I also have a list of overseas dealers if you're willing to look further afield for something a little more special.
