antique weapons
Vintage combat implements
Antique weapons are arms from earlier historical periods, typically at least a century old—swords, muskets, crossbows, maces.
The term appears in legal contexts where antique firearms receive different regulatory treatment than modern guns.
Collectors value them for craftsmanship, historical significance, or decorative appeal: The estate sale included antique weapons dating to the Civil War.
