Arms & Armour and Antique Weapons

Doerr Dallas has years of expertise in the field of antique Arms & Armour. Ever since a caveman threw a sharp rock and another raised a shield to stop it, arms and armour have been at the heart of warfare and conflict.

The story of Arms and armour stretches from ancient times to modern conflicts, with weapons ranging from swords and clubs to firearms, armour, including helmets and shields, and militaria such as medals, uniforms and flags.

The story of weaponry both offensive and defensive from medieval swords, spears and body armour to modern tanks, guns and ammunition is fascinating and thought-provoking.

Whatever your interest in the weapons and equipment with which wars are waged, we at Doerr Dallas perform antique appraisals for Arms & Armour. These include antique firearms, bladed weapons, military relics, vehicles, and military aircraft.
