Best-selling antique weapons and historical souvenirs

Our best successes in Antique Guns and Historical Memorabilia

Every day, our customers turn up to have their antiques and collectibles appraised. Among them, many antique weapons of all types are authenticated by our experts. Swords, pistols, or historical souvenirs are appraised, and some of them are sold at auction by Auctie's, at Hôtel Drouot, the European epicenter of auctions.

What types of antique weapons & historical souvenirs do we appraise?

• Antique pistols and rifles...
• Sabers, knives, bayonets...
• Historical memorabilia: military decorations, military accessories, tableware with military decorations...

The old French guns are rare and remain highly prized by collectors. Especially if they're in good condition.

More generally, any weapon with a history, from a famous former owner or from a "successful" military period in France or abroad (Germany, Russia...) can sell very well at auction.

It can also involve rare pieces that don't come onto the market very often, such as Russian knives, bayonets or Corsican stylets.

Our experts can help you authenticate your objects, and know how to identify treasures. We will be able to propose the sale project inthe best of your interests.

Historical memorabilia can correspond to many objects that have marked the history of military arts: military accessories, military tableware, military awards and decorations.

Many military decorations, for example, can be highly prized when sold. Of noble manufacture or made of precious metals, foreign medals kept in the back of cupboards for years, estimated at €800 can finally sell for several thousand euros at auctions at Hôtel Drouot, the European epicenter of auctions.

The best thing to do is to submit photos of your items to our experts. We'll know how to authenticate and sell at the best price, while respecting your interests.

Our team of experts is at your disposal anywhere in France to authenticate, appraise free of charge and confidentially your antique weapons and historical memorabilia.
