Asset Types
Arms & armor
Edged weapons, firearms, armour and militaria: maker, marks, era, calibre or blade, originality, and legal status.
Alongside maker, marks, era and dimensions, the record carries legal status — licensed, deactivated, antique-exempt, restricted — because it decides what you may do with the asset and where it may go. Originality (period, restored, composite) and condition set the value.
