About Me
Peter L. Karlan, M.S.L.
Karlan’s Antique Gun & Military Antique Buying Service was created in order to make selling your items as easy and straight forward as possible. I know that it is sometimes difficult to make the right decision in regards to selling a collection or single family heirloom. I am glad to offer this service in order for you to be at ease through this process and know that you have received an honest price for your item(s).
For over 30 years I have been buying and selling Antique Guns (Pre-1898), Military Antiques, Swords, Helmets, Armor, Cannons, Flags, Daggers, Knives, Medals, Accouterments, Militaria, Antiques and Fine Art to the public nationally and internationally. I am interested in items from all nations, wars and conflicts from the 17th Century thru the Vietnam War. You can find me as a regular vendor at various arms and antique shows from coast to coast. I am always available via the web, phone and by appointment. I travel nationwide to purchase collections or single items.
Please call, email or text me in order to discuss your needs anytime. Thanks for visiting my site.
