Part of our business here at Militia House is commission projects. Many of our customers contact us looking for very special "one of a kind" pieces that we do not regularly stock on our website. Weather it is custom leather working, custom metal casting or custom gun building our craftsman are always up to the challenge of custom building someones dream item.
Over the years we have received several requests to showcase some of these commission projects. Below is a short list of commission projects we have done that the buyers have allowed us to highlight on our website. The purpose of this page is to partially fulfill the curiosity of our customers and to partially highlight our past work.

French Saint Enteenie circa 1728
Featured here is a wonderful reproduction of a French 1728 Saint Enteenie musket. This musket features a 46" barrel and is 69 caliber. It has a walnut stock. This is a nice example of an officers 1728 St. Enteenie musket. It is more light weight than its English or German counter part. Muskets such as these were sought after by most Native Americans because of its weight and maneuverability.
Dutch Wall Gun circa 1756
Featured here is a reproduction of a "Dutch" made Wall Gun. This gun features a whopping 1.5" bore. This gun weighs over 30 lbs, and is not for the faint of heart. Please see the photo in the gallery at the right with the Wall Gun next to a traditional musket to see the size difference. As with all of our items this gun is 100% made in America of American steel and American acquired wood.

This is an item that is not featured normally for sale by Militia House. This custom project was assembled entirely from a Rifle Shoppe Kit. This reproduction "German" matchlock features a .62 caliber barrel. The barrel is 42 inches long and is an octagon to round barrel. It features a beautiful stock and has a distinctive line that makes it very unique.
