Our Story
The Antique Sword Show was founded to fill a long-standing void in the antique arms community. While traditional militaria shows have historically centered around Western weaponry, the extraordinary artistry, history, and craftsmanship of Eastern arms have remained largely underserved.
Beginning his journey in 2008 at the Baltimore Arms Show, founder Sunmit Singh spent over a decade traveling the globe as both an avid collector and exhibitor. Experiencing the trade from both sides of the table revealed an urgent need for an event with institutional credibility and a refined focus.
Recognizing the need for a dedicated, high-caliber platform in the United States, he launched the Antique Sword Show: America’s first curated exhibition dedicated exclusively to Eastern antique swords, armor, and fine militaria. Today, the show brings together an international network of premier exhibitors and discerning collectors in a professional, and friendly environment.
