| OUR HISTORY - Welcome to the Wild West!...West Palm Beach that is. We have entered the 21st Century with a bang. Here at our Web Site you can fulfill your "Old Frontier" fantasies in cyberspace. We offer you our first "on line" catalogue featuring the rare, the exotic, and the almost impossible to find collectibles from the Old West and the Frontier.
Our names are Greg Marx and Gil Lewis, and we are constantly traveling the country as well as using our extensive network of contacts around the world to bring to you only the finest in pre-1898 guns, gambling & saloon items, Civil War weapons & accoutrements, edged weapons and the finer "ephemera" of that exciting era.
You will find our primary interests in Frontier Americana are of the period 1850-1900. We think it was the most exciting time for our fledgling country; the gold fever and subsequent expansion of the western frontier, the Civil War, the Cavalry, and the Indian Wars. We will be offering you Sharps Buffalo Rifles with factory records supplied by Dr Moore, traveling Gamblers Boxes (many including guns), Bowie Knives, original old west Gun Rigs, and antique ammunition. The list goes on and on. Our inventory will be always changing and you will want to check back often.
You can feel perfectly confident in ordering from us as we have a combined 55 years experience in collecting and dealing, and we stand by our excellent reputations that are well known throughout the country.
Gil tells the story that when he was 13 his mother asked him....."What do you want for your birthday?..., he said, "...I want an 1860 Cavalry Saber!" They went shopping in all the pawn shops on Third Ave. in New York City until they finally found a beauty for $12.00. That sword is long gone now, but it was the start of a lifelong love affair with old guns and the romance of the frontier.
We hope you too will become as enthusiastic as we are. This is a wonderful hobby and one that we will do everything we can to enrich that enjoyment.
We are also active buyers of authentic items of the kind you see here in our web site. We are prepared to buy single items or entire collections, and all transactions are kept strictly confidential.
An old time dealer once said, "In this game you never over-pay, you just bought it too soon...."
