My name is Ken Drake and I buy and sell antique arms.  I have been a dealer for more than 25 years and am well known in the trade.  My stock runs from a stone age items, through various edged weapons, up to guns made as late as 1898.  I do not deal in modern guns nor in reproductions.  I do not have a shop.  I sell through shows, personal contacts, and the web.

This site does not support on-line ordering and we have no plans to do so because I would rather make direct contact with buyers, preferably by phone, to discuss the item of interest.  Only a small part of my stock is shown here. To purchase an item, you can call Ken Drake at (516) 799-4694 or email me at KenDrake@mindspring.com.

If you own an old gun, sword, or other antique arm, E-mail me a picture and any background information and I will do my best to identify it for you.
