| 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 23rd. ‘Antiques for Everyone' is running from 27 th to the 30th 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. |
