Welcome to Emrys Arms!

Collecting and researching antique arms can be a rewarding experience – it is one of my many great joys. In-store for the student of antique arms is a story of history, adventure, art, marketing and intrigue! Too dramatic? Well, it can be both incredibly fun, enlightening, and frustrating as well.

Emrys Arms aims to assist you in your research. Items contained on the site are (mostly), or have been, part of a private collection. I hope that their examples may be useful to you in your search for answers. 

This site will also continue to grow as items are entered into the collection. Enjoy, research can be an extremely fun and exciting adventure.
