Olympia Auctions is honoured to present one of the most important collections of early English firearms to appear on the market in decades. The collection was the lifetime passion of the late Canadian-born Professor David S. Weaver (1939 - 2023, pictured left), esteemed academic and world-renowned connoisseur of historical arms.

Regarded as the most significant offering of its kind, the Weaver Collection represents more than 60 years of dedication to the study of 17th and 18th-century firearms. Many of the pieces, unseen for generations, are among the rarest and finest examples outside of important museum collections.
