What We Do
Carry on the legacy
First and foremost, David’s goal is to help carry on the legacy of antique firearms. These pieces are masterfully made, and they deserve to be admired by lovers of history and craftsmanship for many more generations. To that end, his business is focused primarily on firearms from the French and Indian War and Revolutionary War. He serves a variety of clients, from personal collectors to museum curators and auction houses.
David assists his clients with the following:
Sales
History enthusiasts, gun lovers, and antique collectors can find exceptionally beautiful firearms here in our store. These pieces are the perfect addition to any collection, as they carry the magic of the nation’s history with them. David carries a variety of antique firearms from the start of America’s founding, and each and every item is a guaranteed genuine antique.
Additionally, David brokers and buys antique firearms from collectors looking to unload some of their pieces. His years of experience and sharp eye guarantees that he will give you an honest appraisal, so you can be confident that your sale is fair and satisfactory.
Appraisals
Sometimes, individuals come across antiques without realizing what they hold. Perhaps it’s an item passed down from a loved one, or even something they found discarded at a yard sale. The owner may not know exactly what he or she has in their possession, but they suspect it might have more value and importance than they know.
In these situations, it’s essential to have an experienced and honest eye looking over your antiques. David has over 20 years’ experience appraising antique firearms, and he will give you an honest assessment of your item. Whether you hold a genuine antique or a mere reproduction, you will get a true assessment of the item and its value when you work with David.
Consulting
The antiques industry thrives on experts working with one another and with their clients. Experts like David provide clients with a seasoned eye and a wealth of knowledge, helping them make the best choices for their items and their antiques collection as a whole. Whether the client is a personal collector looking to acquire or sell or a museum setting up an exhibit, the consulting advice David offers will be invaluable.
Additionally, David brings his consulting experience to a new generation of collections. As the youngest expert in his field, David has a unique understanding of how to share this remarkable industry with younger individuals. His YouTube channel and other social media pages offer a unique glimpse into the world of 18th century Pennsylvania — both through the firearms he presents and his 1744 log home, the Hess Homestead. Collectors of any generation, as well as history buffs, can benefit from the wealth of knowledge David has to offer.
A Storied Business
David has been working as an antiques dealer for 20 years, but his roots run much deeper. David is a fourth-generation antiques collector and dealer, a member of the Geiger family who have been leaders in the antique arms community for many decades.
With his expertise, excellent eye, and passion for his work, David carries on the Geiger legacy — and now his work can add another remarkable chapter to their story. David strives to bring antique arms collecting to the next generation, reviving the industry and keeping the nation’s history at the forefront of our imaginations. He understands that these antiques are much more than simple firearms; they are the items that shaped a nation and changed the world.
As an antique dealer, David wears many hats: broker, buyer, educator. He is always happy to speak with interested collectors or individuals looking for appraisals or authentication for their items. In fact, he even offers free appraisals here on his website.
