American Revolution

The American Revolution was one of the most important battles of the modern world, during which the American colonies declared independence from British rule. The American Revolution was fought with mostly colonial militias, thus there exists a wide variety of uniforms, as well as unique weaponry and other historical artifacts.

In addition to American and British collectibles, antiques from French troops who aided the American cause and German Hessians fighting for the British are also in great demand.
