Military-related items have long fascinated collectors, museums and history buffs. Auctionet's Weapons and Militaria auctions include both old and antique weapons and militaria, i.e. uniforms, medals, helmets and other military equipment with historical value.
The objects range from rare battle rifles and revolvers to sabres, bayonets and helmets dating from the 18th to the 20th century. Many bear witness to skillful craftsmanship and choice of materials – brass, steel, leather and wood – and bear traces of both everyday use and ceremonial contexts. Some items bear the maker's marks of famous gunsmiths or belong to specific regiments, adding to their collectable value.
Auctionet's archive holds examples of everything from unique matchlock rifles and cavalry pistols to officer's jackets and memorabilia from the World Wars.
