As such, I am more interested in acquiring new customers who share these interests than in making a sale. I make certain that every customer, buyer or seller, be dealt with fairly and with complete satisfaction in every transaction. We buy Civil War and other Artifacts, Swords, Sabers, Flags, Uniforms and Firearms on a regular basis. No collection is too big or too small for our purchase or consideration. We have assisted in building some of the largest and most valuable collections in the world but also take pride in making time for those with more modest collecting goals".
