Collectors Armoury

I was super excited to go into this place! Until my boyfriend asked a question about ninja stars, the guy who worked there gave him the nastiest, rudest attitude. I was looking at other things but I was listening to their conversation. He was being snobby «They’re illegal! You’re not going to find them anywhere. You’re wasting your time. I don’t have any here. You’re not going to find them anywhere around here.» If you guys could only hear the tone & delivery, I thought he was being a jerk! It was a simple question. We know they’re illegal, we didn’t mind finding replicas. We were hoping he would have something or recommend a place. But God no.
He talked down to my boyfriend and because he was a much older man, my boyfriend decided to not talk back to him and just walked out. Shitty experience.

Collectors Armoury is the only shop in California entirely dedicated to the purchase and sale of antique arms and armor. It is a museum where all the items on display are for sale. The proprietor, Joseph Bell, is a collector of Islamic weapons himself and has more than 40 years experience in the field. Whether buying or selling any antique weapon from a Japanese samurai sword to an English Brown Bess flintlock musket, Collectors Armoury and Mr. Bell are ready to serve your collecting interests. His buying prices are more than fair and he is very careful to avoid offering the reproductions which are aged and sold as genuine period pieces by most non-​specialty dealers. You can depend on Mr. Bell’s integrity and expertise.
