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

Developed during the mid-1850s, the Beaumont-Adams revolver was an influential dual-action percussion firearm adopted by the British military, introducing a trigger system that allowed both single and double-action cocking.

Mid-Victorian military handguns were typically fabricated using forged steel for the frame, cylinder, and barrel, along with hand-carved, chequered walnut wood for the grips.

Authentic examples feature British period proof marks stamped into the frame and cylinder, maker engravings, a solid single-piece frame construction, and a double-action hammer assembly.

Historic weaponry is frequently displayed inside glazed wall-mounted shadow boxes or arranged on bookshelves alongside leather-bound volumes and brass decorative objects.

Metal elements require periodic applications of microcrystalline wax or neutral gun oil to prevent surface oxidisation, while humidity levels should be kept stable to protect the wood grips.
