Refunds
Please choose carefully when purchasing. My business philosophy is based on 35 years + of collecting experience and target shooting. I will always be a collector at heart, so I know what it is like to spend hard-earned money ordering something over the phone or Internet only to be disappointed. My main goal for this site is to have satisfied customers who will come back in the future to add to their collections without hesitation. I have made a commitment to represent every item with a thorough description and detailed photographs. Sales are final so buyer remourse is not justification for a refund however if the item has been misrepresented in anyway then simply return the item within 7 days at your cost and you will receive a full refund of the purchase price less the shipping and handling fee. Please note that buyer remourse or simply changing your mind is not sufficient justification to return the item, and items must not be returned unless you discuss it with us first. Orders received incorrectly through the fault of The Kings Armoury will be replaced or exchanged at no additional charge to the customer. No responsibility is taken for refunds pertaining to any other individuals and businesses who may be advertising on this website.
Changes to Orders
We cannot change orders once they have been placed, although if notified by the customer of an order error (by email) we will do our best to rectify/correct the error to that particular order prior to shipping.

Please also see our professional disclaimer
Please note: All old guns are sold as collectibles only and are NOT warranted for shooting.
Many of the guns listed at this website will be fine to shoot with appropriate ammunition. However there may be hidden safety problems with old firearms.
We recommend that no one should shoot ANY old gun without first having it thoroughly checked out & okayed by a professional competent gunsmith. Older guns originally made for blackpowder cartridges should never be fired with modern smokeless powder cartridges. Damascus barreled shotguns may have hidden defects – we recommend they not be fired.
Opinions expressed in this catalog as to mechanical condition of a gun merely indicate whether the gun appears to function without live ammunition, and do NOT necessarily mean the gun would be safe to shoot.
