Senior Expert
James is Lockdales' weapons cataloguer, working in conjunction with Howard Williamson our long-standing consultant and expert on edged weapons and firearms.
Lockdales complies with all laws regarding the sale of weapons/ antique & de-activated firearms:
Antique firearms can be bought and sold through our auctions, meeting all the necessary requirements for obsolescence and de-activation (with certificates where required). We have specialists in many types of historic firearms from flintlock muskets to Colt ‘six-shooters’ and carbines. Antique edged weapons, such as military sabres and bayonets are also welcome for consignment. Buyers must now arrange private couriers for postage of edged weapons.
