The Arms Historic Society of Finland was established in 1965, so we have been in the field of gun collecting for quite a long time. We have preserved historic values, done work for private collectors and also helped with public and legal matters.

Beware The Finnish Defence Forces!

22.02.2012

The Finnish Defence Forces have stated in their journal Ruotuväki volume 21/2011 that "according to the law" all war time explosives belong to the Defence Forces . The problem is that in the article they were dealing with harmless pieces of explosive ordinance such as empty shells.

If a child orders dummy grenades and replica-bazooka from Europe to play role-games, it is likely that our defence forces are called by the customs mail office to check the material. According to the article the military will confiscate and destroy the material for safety reasons. One should bear in mind, that the pieces are private property which is protected by the law!

Beware the Finnish Post Office!

19.01.2012

The Finnish Post Office, today Itella Corporation, has joined to anti-gun campaingn. From 1.1.2012 all gun related or replica material, including dummy weapons, magazines, wooden stocks and parts are forbitten.

The Arms Historic Society of Finland is strongly against these limitations that limits free transportation of fully legal goods inside Finland and abroad.

Items sent by mail are subject to be returned back to sender on sender's own cost. All "dangerous" material is stopped at the border by the Post Office.
