Discover rare antique weapons from across the centuries.

Welcome to Andrew Bottomley Antique Arms & Armour.

We are pleased to showcase a vast and curated selection of high-quality antique weapons ranging from the 17th century.  Perfect for serious collectors, investors, and history enthusiasts. Our inventory is frequently updated, featuring items of historical significance from Britain and around the world.

Every item for sale is guaranteed to be original and to be of the period stated. No Licence is required to purchase genuine Antique weapons in the United Kingdom however you must be over 18 years of age to place an order with us. You must also not be a person who is prohibited by law from owning antique weapons.

Please remember that these items are original antiques and before placing an order you should expect there to be some degree of age showing. Genuine antiques are rarely in perfect condition and will often have minor wear and blemishes which are all part of their history so please keep this in mind. Our descriptions are honest and reliable and we always try very hard to describe items fully. We do not sell reproductions or modern copies. 

If you are thinking of selling any items you will be treated fairly and receive a good price for your goods, probably as much as, if not more than you would get if you were selling by auction after you have paid the selling commission.

We know that it is sometimes difficult to make the right decision in regards to selling a collection or single-family heirloom. Please contact us by phone or email a photo of your item and we will guide you through the selling process. 

We are often updating our Website with new additions, so please check back frequently for any new items. Thank you for taking the time to view our antique weapons for sale.
