West Street Antiques' owner, Phillip Spooner writes:
"I was first introduced to antique arms and armour by my father John Spooner who started collecting in the early 1950's. My childhood was spent visiting antiques shops and being taught all about the famous British gunmakers such as John Twigg, Joe Manton and his brother John Manton, Wogdon, Durs Egg and his nephew Joe Egg and the Mortimer family all of whom made superb duelling pistols which were my father's main interest.

By the age of 10 I was collecting myself; first Military Medals and then edged weapons. I was intrigued by the history and craftsmanship and a lifelong interest was born. Following a spell at Christies I went into business with an antiques shop in Dorking in the mid 1980's, soon afterwards my father opened his shop in Dorking, we combined businesses shortly afterwards and West Street Antiques became a specialist dealer in antique arms and armour."

Established and Trusted Antique Guns and Armoury Business

I buy things that I would wish to collect myself which means I look for quality, condition and historical interest. Where possible they will have provenance such as the Keith Neal Collection.

English Civil War Swords - Victorian Army Officer Swords

In addition to antique firearms we also have for sale antique edged weapons. With examples of Mortuary hilted swords from the English Civil War through to Victorian officer's swords with an interesting provenance. We always have a selection of Cavalry Troopers swords, Naval swords and cutlasses, Scottish basket hilt swords and Blue and Gilt Officer's swords and swords made by Wilkinson.
We were one of the first antique arms dealers to launch a website, way back in the 1990s and this has been a significant benefit as it has allowed us to reach a wider audience than these customers living nearby our Dorking showroom, Having said that over the years many of our online customers from many countries have been to visit and it has been delightful to meet them in person.
