Arms auction hero banner

The latest wave of arm auctions is reshaping the market, with a clear focus on a broad spectrum of weaponry. The earliest event concluded on December 7, when Olympia Auctions wrapped up its specialist arm auction, offering everything from historic rifles to contemporary pistols. Just days later, Mishler Auction Service hosted the Conemaugh Arms & Ammo auction, closing on December 16 and drawing attention to a mix of collectible rifles, handguns, and shotguns.

The momentum continued through the weekend as Victorian Casino Antiques ran a multi‑day arm auction from December 16 to 18, showcasing a curated selection of rare rifles, antique pistols, and airguns, all concluding on the 18th. In parallel, James D. Julia Auctioneers (Morphy Auctions) presented a similar arm-focused sale over the same dates, reinforcing the weekend’s emphasis on high‑quality arms. Looking ahead, Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers has scheduled a dedicated arm auction for 2026, promising an extensive lineup that will include everything from vintage rifles to modern pistols, though the exact date remains pending.

Guyette & Deeter is set to expand the calendar with a Fine Sporting Arms sale in February 2026, followed by another in April, each targeting collectors of classic hunting rifles and precision pistols. The house will cap the year with a major Fine Sporting Arms and Art auction on the 27th of 2026, blending high‑end arms with complementary artwork. Across these events, a clear trend emerges: bidders are gravitating toward specialized arm collections, with auction houses increasingly dedicating entire sales to rifles, pistols, shotguns, and airguns.

This focused approach not only highlights the growing enthusiasm for arms among collectors but also signals a robust market poised for continued expansion.
