The home of some of the finest quality handmade historical weaponry available today !
Our gunsmith, gun maker and historian works mostly in beech, other woods are available on request.

The earliest weaponry was basically a barrel on a stick: Pole Gonne, Tannenberg, Hackenbuche, Hook Gonne are examples.

There were different types developed some were country specific.
All of our firearms are muzzle loaders.
