Featured Collector Items

Each is a detailed study of a specialized arms collector topic, with information, photos, and references that will help other collectors.

The late David Radcliffe (biography) prepared these in 2000-2002 for his Midwest Gun and Civil War Show Calendar website, along with a number of similar studies of Civil War collectibles. Thanks to the kind permission of Mr. Reed Radcliffe we are honored to have the privilege of presenting these for your enjoyment. Content of the featured item is unchanged, but minor format and appearance changes have been made to fit in the ArmsCollectors.com site.
