Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

These firearms were standardized military sidearms manufactured during the mid-19th century for forces operating under the East India Company. They typically feature percussion cap ignition mechanisms, heavy-gauge smoothbore barrels, walnut stocks, and brass mounts.

Martial pistols of this era were primarily constructed using dense walnut for the stock, forged steel or iron for the barrel and lock mechanism, and brass for the trigger guard, side plate, and butt cap to withstand heavy field use.

Authentic examples bear official ordnance proof marks, maker stamps on the lock plate, inspector marks on the timber stock, and period-correct mechanical features such as a captive swivel ramrod designed for mounted troops.

Historical firearms are traditionally displayed mounted on wooden stands or within glazed presentation cases placed on bookshelves, executive desks, or mantelpieces within dark-wood, traditional, or eclectic studies.

Metal components require a light application of microcrystalline wax or gun oil to prevent oxidisation, while timber stocks should be treated with natural beeswax. Items must be kept in a climate-controlled environment away from humidity.
