The Royal Armouries has been a fantastic resource for research. While on site we received expert advice which has been highly beneficial in shaping our understanding of firearms, greatly enhanced our knowledge and enabled us to create high quality reference material. It was also a fantastic team-building exercise.

It's hard to imagine a more suitable, knowledgeable and professional service when referencing armaments and firearms in the UK.
