Dealers
Independent dealers in antique arms components, listing alongside Butch Schoeller’s own stock. Every listing on this site says who is selling it.

Vetted one at a time
Butch Schoeller reads every application himself. A new dealer’s listings are read before they go live, and stay that way until they have a record.
Their stock, their hands
Nothing is shipped here for inspection, ever. Dealers pack and post their own sales. Vetting is documentary — photographs and paperwork.
The refund is ours
If a part is not as described you get all your money back including postage both ways — whoever sold it. The full position.
Listing here
Who is selling
Internal account used to test the site. Nothing here is for sale.
Dealers
Listing here costs 5% and nothing else
No listing fee, no monthly fee, no fee for a photograph or a featured slot. Five per cent of what something sells for, charged to the seller. Paid tiers reduce that; nothing raises it.
And the part that matters most if you have dealt with consignment before: your stock never leaves your possession.
Buying from a dealer
You check out here, once, whatever mix of dealers your basket spans. Each dealer posts their own parcel, so postage is charged per parcel and shown that way in the cart before you commit.
