New Website to be launched in 2021.
Update.
After a poor 2020 in the high street due to the Covid-19 virus, we have decided to join the rest and transfer our main trading emphasis online. This will be a gradual programme throughout 2021 and will include our normal products and also include more general antiques, cannon, medals and British militaria.
We do intend to retain our shop in Scarborough but on a reduced opening hours basis and we look forward to seeing customers old and new and gaurantee you a warm welcome. Please refer to our opening hours if travelling any distance to confirm we are open in order to avoid disappointment.
As many of our regular customers know, we will continue to buy to order. Much of the trading in which we are engaged is for those clients who prefer to retain their privacy and we continue to buy on a third party basis. This includes at the major fairs and at auction.
A new venture this year will be the addition of Medals, Decorations and British Militaria to our product line. These products will be overseen by Mr. Vince Rosser who has over 40 years experience in these markets as both a collector and dealer.
Although our blog has been quiet this year we will be continuing the forum on the Gunmakers of Ireland throughout 2021. We are always interested in any information related to the gunmakers of Ireland and buy material related to them.
We hope to have the new website up and running for the end of January/February 2021.
Happy and Prosperous New Year.
