Month:	Event Information:
June 2008	June has been a relatively quiet month. We exhibited at Harrogate Pavilions, Liverpool Arms Fair and the Leeds Arms Fair. Two standout additions to the collection this month are a particularly fine and exceptionally rare English bridle elbow gauntlet, manufactured in the Greenwich Armouries and an extremely rare all steel, heart butt Scottish pistol. July, however, is an extremely busy month. We have two major shows. The first is The Snape Antiques & Fine Arts Fair, (Thursday 10 th – Sunday 13 th July). The second being ‘Antiques for Everyone' at the NEC in Birmingham (Thursday 24 th – Sunday 27 th July). Tickets for these are available on request. If you are interested in coming to either event please contact us at garthvincent@aol.com or call 07785 352 151 and we will send you a complimentary ticket for the event (while stocks last).
May 2008	May has been a very busy month for us. Highlights this month included our first showing at, LAPADA - Objects of Desire - at the Royal Academy of Arts; our first ever show at The Buxton Antiques Fair and continued with one of our core fairs at Pudsey Antiques and Collectors Fair (Leeds). This coming weekend we will be at The Bisley Phoneix Arms Fair 23rd - 25th. Because we have been to so many new shows this month we have exposed ourselves to a raft of new customers. This has lead to us acquiring a wealth of new stock. In June we will be exhibiting at the Birmingham Arms Fair (at the National Motorcycle Museum) on the 08th and The Liverpool Arms Fair on Sunday the 15th.
April 2008	We were delighted to see old friends and meet new at the, ‘Antiques for Everyone' fair in Birmingham. This months arms fairs include Leeds, on Sunday 13 th and Newark on Sunday 20 th . We are continuing to add to the web site and are regularly buying new stock. We are interested to hear from anyone who would like us to look for any specific items. May is going to be a busy month for us as we have two large show coming in quick succession, ‘The Harrogate Antique & Fine Art Fair' running from 1 st May – 5 th May. Followed closely by, ‘Objects of Desire, The LAPADA London Fair'. Running from 8 th – 11 th May. We have a limited number of tickets for these shows. If you are interested in coming to either event please contact us at garthvincent@aol.com and we will send you a complimentary ticket ( while stocks last ).
March 2008	March saw the re-launch of our website. Which means we can now quickly update our stock. It also means that we can add more detailed pictures of our antique guns, antique swords and antique suits of armour. We were fortunate that this coincided with our purchase of a small but high quality collection of British Military Swords, which had not been offered on the market in the past thirty years. The previous owner had done much research regarding the careers of the officers who had owned the swords. Another new venture in March was our attendance at the Wilton House Antiques Fair. We had a prime position to display our antique arms just inside the main door. We were pleased to sell items to and make contact with many people we have not met before. We were also featured in the local newspaper (The Salisbury Journal). Last weekend we exhibited with all of our old friends in Liverpool. Our next fair will be at Bisley Sunday 23 rd . ‘Antiques for Everyone' is running from 27 th to the 30 th where we have moved to the stand opposite which gives us a corner site and more space to display even more of our antique arms and armour.
