CastingsThe method of lost wax casting dates back thousands of years but it is only in the last 100 years that it has been refined to its present state of accuracy and reproductive quality. We have related this traditional medium to the production of our fine quality range of castings. All reproduction weapons available today rely on this method for the reproduction of intricate gun parts for gun manufacture and amateur gun building. Lost wax castings of cocks, top jaws, frizzens, hammers, trigger guards, butt plates, heel and toe plates. 100's of different parts always in stock. We make our own moulds. Special moulds can be made. Please be aware that the castings offered will need cleaning and polishing before attaching to your weaponLost Wax castings are offered in Steel, Brass, Silver or Gold. |

MiniaturesAndrew G.P. Dyson was born in 1968; he attained his engineering qualifications after attending Huddersfield Technical College. He joined the family firm of Peter Dyson & Son Ltd. in 1984 where he was apprenticed to his father Peter Dyson. During this period, he learned the mysteries and magic of the Art of Gunmaking. Andrew's passion for miniature weapons evolved from his apprenticeship years, his first miniature was an apprentice piece produced and submitted to the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers. Apprenticeship in the traditional gun trade is a lengthy business!In 1994, on completion of his apprenticeship, Andrew was granted the freedom of the Gunmakers Company. Later that year was made a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers. The building of miniature weapons is a time consuming process, only occasionally available from stock; it is more usual for Andrew to build miniature weapons to order, you say what you would like building, Andrew will give you an approximate delivery time and price. |
