Buyer’s guide

Snaphaunce.com only offers antiques from reputable established dealers who specialise in arms and armour, so you can buy with confidence.

Finding What You Want

This site has been designed to be very simple to use. You can browse all of the antiques on the site by clicking on ‘CATALOGUE LATEST‘ at the top of the page. Here you can go through the various categories and browse through the listings. The filter on the left of the categories screen can be used to further refine your search.

You can search the whole site for specific items, using the search facility at the top of the page. Once the search is complete for items you can again further refine your search using the filter on the left of the screen.

The very latest items also appear on the home page, and you can go back further using the ‘SEE ALL‘ link. Here you can scroll back page by page in order of the latest listings.

Clicking on an item in any list will bring up detailed information and photos, and a link to contact the seller directly. There is also a link to the seller’s other items – here you will find all of that dealer’s current stock in one place.

How To Buy An Item

There is no cart or checkout. All you need to do to contact a dealer is fill the ‘ASK THE DEALER‘ form on the item description, this will then send a message directly to the dealer. Please fill in the “CAPTCHA” box with the number or letters displayed, to prove you are not a computer.

Payment

Payment is made directly to the dealer selling the item, and they will let you know their payment options.
These may vary with the type of antique, and where you and the dealer are based, but may include bank (wire) transfers,
card payments, cheques (checks), and, where allowed, Paypal payments. Cash is normally only accepted in face-to-face
transactions.

All dealers will ship internationally when it is practical to do so.
