Several nations such as Australia , Canada , the Netherlands , Norway , the UK and the United States make special exceptions in their gun laws for antique firearms. The threshold is pre in Canada, pre in the United States, and pre in Australia. Some countries like England exempt certain antiques but they do not set a specific threshold year. Single-shot or double-barrel muzzleloading firearms manufactured before January 1, , are considered antique firearms in all States of Australia, and can be legally purchased, used and owned.

Victoria and Queensland do not require people to have a licence for them. Cartridge-loading firearms manufactured prior to January 1, , may or may not be considered “antique”, depending on the commercial availability of ammunition. For example, a Martini—Enfield rifle manufactured in would NOT be considered antique in any state of Australia, as it is chambered in.

Conversely, firearms manufactured after January 1, , are not considered antiques, even if they are replicas of antique firearms such as modern reproductions of black-powder guns , or if ammunition is no longer commercially available such as the Arisaka Type 38 Rifle. All muzzleloading black-powder firearms are free to sale and possess, new or old. All kinds of mobile i. For example, the Webley Mk I qualifies as an antique firearm in Canada because it was manufactured prior to and was designed to use Webley.

These revolvers were used by both the police and the military in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and are now sought-after examples of antique Canadiana. The threshold for antique status being one year earlier than in the United States is a minor source of confusion for antique gun collectors and dealers in North America.

Czech Arms Act considers historic firearms as category D weapons, [12] therefore freely available to persons over 18 years of age. Historic weapon is defined as a ” firearm manufactured at latest on December 31, , and also all its main parts were manufactured no later than December 31, “. Ammunition for such weapons can legally be acquired under the same conditions.

In Finland, black-powder weapons manufactured before are exempt from licensing requirements, unless they are actually used for shooting. The Ministry of the Interior has authority to issue secondary legislation to release other kinds of historically valuable antique firearms from licensing requirements. Rifles, shotguns, revolvers, pistols and combination-firearms designed and destined to be loaded with:. Rifles, shotguns and pistols not being revolvers designed and destined to be loaded with cartridges of which the propellant consists of black powder or only priming compound, except rimfire cartridges in caliber.

Artillery pieces designed and destined to be loaded with loose projectiles and black powder, loose or in bagcharges. The exemption mentioned in points c, d and e only applies to weapons produced before January 1, Please note that point c.

Only the obsolete ignition system of the cartridge is the deciding factor. Point d. Specific types of weapons are mentioned in the law. That means that the exemption does not apply to other types of weapons. A pinfire rifle may be free but a pinfire trapgun is not, a muzzleloading cannon from the American civil war is free but a Gatling model is not.

In a new Norwegian firearms law re-defined an “antique” as any black powder firearm produced before , or one that is chambered in a caliber the Crown Norwegian Department of Justice considers obsolete. Firearms manufactured before that are separately loaded not using cartridges and replicas of such weapons, do not require a license. I have a copy of Henry Noel Humphries, ed.

Hunting and finding rare old tools is very much a challenge but this also helps to keep prices buoyant.

Tooltique is based in Norwich and was established 30 years ago by my father. I guess dealing in old tools has been a bit of a calling which has now become a bit of an obsession.

Tools could be deemed the father of all things, without them everything that is man-made would be nothing more than an idea. Once man created tools it created those all important skilled workers who mastered them, the tradesman was born!

There has been an evolution of tools as with man himself, we use tools to make better tools that increase productivity. Somewhere in between there was an era where it was important how tools should be crafted and to what standards they should be created. Old Tools are collected for a number of reasons and each person collecting them generally has a connection or interest with a certain theme. Please see the auction calendar below for details of the upcoming auctions.

The auctions attract national and international interest, and we also hold world records for prices achieved on Royal Doulton, Beswick, Wade and Carlton Ware.

You can place a bid in person, online or by telephone. If you are looking to sell at auction then take a look at our valuations page for more details on how and when to submit items for auction.
