Arundel Militaria

Arundel Militaria, dealer in deactivated firearms and historical militaria

Arundel Militaria is a British business dedicated to the buying and selling of deactivated firearms and militaria from the First and Second World Wars, as well as from other historical periods. The company presents itself as specialising in high-quality collectable pieces and states that it continually seeks the finest examples of historical weaponry for discerning collectors.

Its activity is supported by its status as a Registered Firearms Dealer and by a bespoke, fully equipped workshop where it carries out deactivation and repair work on firearms. The firm offers advice and quotations for any enquiry about its items, as well as for reworking or repair work.

Catalogue: deactivated guns, antique guns and militaria

The catalogue is organised into several product families. The largest corresponds to deactivated guns, divided into three groups: Allied guns, Axis guns and modern guns. In addition, there are live firearms and shotguns, obsolete calibre firearms and militaria, with a specific section for ordnance and ammunition.

• Allied deactivated guns: 101 items listed.
• Axis deactivated guns: 73 items listed.
• Modern deactivated guns: 53 items listed.
• Ordnance: 82 items listed.
• Live firearms and shotguns, with subsections for Sections 1 and 2 of UK legislation.
• Obsolete calibre antique guns.
• Militaria.

Among the items shown in the site's new arrivals section are deactivated rifles such as the Sterling, the GSG Kalashnikov AK47, the Chinese-made AK47 Type 56 and Type 56-2, the 1943 Inglis Bren MK2, the RSAF Enfield Bren MK3, the D-Day era Lee Enfield No4 MK1 rifle dated 1944, the SMLE No1 MK3, the Mauser Model 1910/34 with original box and manual, the M38 Mosin Nagant, the German K98 in ZF41 sniper configuration and the MP40 BNZ43 submachine gun with matching numbers. Also listed were pistols such as the 1941 Nazi Luger PO8 with code 42, the P38, the Hungarian FEG Luger M80 and revolvers such as the Marlin No32 rimfire or the short-barrel Webley.

The range is completed by inert and drill grenades from various armies — Italian, German, French, British, Serbian, Belgian and American —, mortar rounds, flare cartridges, bayonets with scabbards, accessories such as the Lewis gun magazine loading tool and helmets, including a German WWII M35.

Clientele and collector-focused approach

The company states that it has a loyal customer base made up of Allied and Axis historical re-enactment groups, museums, collectors specialising in First and Second World War militaria and even Second World War veterans. That profile explains the selective criteria with which the firm says it chooses its pieces.

Workshop services and advice

In addition to sales, Arundel Militaria carries out deactivation and repair work on firearms in its own workshop. The company says it handles enquiries about any of its items and provides advice and quotations both for those enquiries and for reworking or repair commissions.
