Project Gallery

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. Whether it is custom leather work, custom metal casting or custom gun building our craftsman are always up to the challenge of custom building someone's 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.

We LOVE to hear from our customers. We made the fishtail matchlock above for a customer and received these pictures, which we are excited to showcase here. This reproduction early Fishtail Matchlock features a 46" long barrel and is 62 caliber.
