There is one key distinction that separates the serious, informed collector aside from someone who simply acquires - knowledge. Any dealer or auctioneer, whether in the world of antique arms or art and collectables more generally, will tell you that a serious collector will always have a serious reference library behind them.
While many good titles are now long out of print, there are still - and increasingly more so with new publications - a range of good books on a range of subjects pertinent to the collecting of antique arms, accessories, and militaria.
With the aim of becoming a central resource for arms collectors, this page lists some of the many titles that are available to new and more experienced collectors alike. It is by no means comprehensive, but - as it continues to expand - offers collectors a means by which to browse publications in their field of interest.
