Period Weapons, Hunting, and Venerie Objects at Auction

Our auctions of period weapons and militaria cater to collectors and enthusiasts of historical arms, hunting, and venerie objects. From swords to uniforms, merit medals to Légions d’Honneur, books to paintings, our specialists seek out these historical artifacts. Items include halberds, court swords, sabers, crossbows, hunting daggers, glaives, knives, and oriental weapons (kris, katana, yatagan, kindjal, chillanum), muskets and blunderbusses, bayonets, as well as pistols, revolvers, carbines, and rifles.

Collectibles, Uniforms, and Military Memorabilia

We also offer medieval, Napoleonic, and wartime uniforms, along with soldier equipment: helmets, shakos, kepis, dolmans, epaulettes, belts, and French and international decorations.

Collectors may remember the sale of part of the famous Jeanson Library in 2003, which appealed to book and hunting enthusiasts alike. This auction of around 300 lots achieved over €3,000,000, including fees.

Good to Know: Our Arms & Militaria department organizes two auctions per year in Paris.
