Horse Soldier

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. A wide array of items. The lay-a-way plan helps greatly when on a budget.

EXCELLENT staff to deal with. Was helped with everything and extremely professional. Love this place.

They have 2 of my all time favorite guns. An m1 garand and a m1 carbine. Lots of guns. Lots of knives and lots of historic items. Pretty cool place

You could spend a lot of time in here and still not look at everything. It's a great place with a solid reputation.

Awesome store! It's like a museum where you can buy the exhibits, so much history in one spot! From original muskets from 1808, to German Stalhelms, and everything in between, you'll find something for every history buff in this down-right amazing place! Will definitely be back!

Very unprofessional. Made a two hour round trip to see something that was wrongly described. When I arrived they were very pleasant. When I looked at the item it was worthless, rifling was completely pitted! A total waste of time. When I brought this to their attention they shrugged their shoulders and said it was on the seller from New York. No sir it is not! It's on you guys to inspect the items you are selling and check the description is accurate. Beware of them.

The Horse Soldier is located in the center of Gettysburg. Their prices are high but they do have good artifacts. When I was there they were closed "again".Time was limited so I went elsewhere

This is one of the best stores you can find for authentic military artifacts. The staff is very helpful and they know the industry better than anyone else I have found. Andy and Jim are the go-to guys if you are considering a purchase and want to discuss something you are looking at on the web or in the store. The pricing is very fair for very hard to get items.

Great shop. Went looking for a very specific item and they had just what I wanted. The staff are very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Huge selection of antique firearms, bayonets, and other artifacts. Pretty fair prices on some uncommon finds. History buffs, be prepared to spend some time here, history and story telling abound!

This was a wonderful and fascinating place to shop. A lot of antiques from the Civil war, including sabers and guns. The staff was very nice. We picked up a couple pieces of bullets, a Confederate hat and a few other things. It is a very interesting place, and I would recommend atleast a look even if you don't want to buy anything.

This is a really cool museum/store with lots of authentic memorabilia. Folks are nice here and knowledgeable. Worth a look for sure.

Why does every gun shop in the world seem to have that one cranky, crusty guy that makes you feel small just for asking a question? This otherwise wonderful place is no exception. My advice, find a gun you like just by browsing. Then go research the hell out of it online. go back with cash. and don't get pushed around. If so, walk.

This place is really great. The collection of items is very impressive. These guys have civil war bullets, swords, uniforms, paintings and more. They also have a ton of Confederate bills as well. The people that work there are friendly and knowledgeable.

Best selection of civil war artifacts in Gettysburg! As many have said before, it really is a museum with price tags. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I spent well over 4 hour trying to decide on purchases and they answered any questions I had, gave me their personal advice, one of the employees even offered to research what regiments came from my county!

I ended up walking out with 3 items I love. A much more pleasant experience than that of competitor stores in the area. Their prices were reasonable compared to other shops, and with such a large inventory, you can find deals if you spend enough time looking. If you're a serious collector, or a tourist interested in seeing real artifacts, this is the place to go. Don't forget to check out their very in depth website which has a large percent of their inventory. Note: Be prepared to have strong desires to drain your savings upon entering the Horse Soldier

When you walk in the store you go back to 1863. The workers are kind and informative and they sell authentic Civil War items that range from $1.00- $5000+ so there's always something you can buy. If you want real authentic items actually from Gettysburg, go to this place.

This store is a cut above just about any other antique or souvenir store in Gettysburg - in fact, you could say it's like a museum where you can buy the exhibits. The quantity, quality and organization of the items is superb, and staff has always been friendly and helpful (I have visited at least five times over the last two years). If your passion is antique weaponry you will probably be tempted to take out a second mortgage (some of the rarer items run into the tens of thousands of dollars) but there's something authentic and historical here for every price point. Make sure to leave plenty of time to browse!

If you are into original authentic quality civil war relics and antiques or desire to view such items, look no further, this is the place. It's not a cheap souvenir shop, the items here are real, authentic and ultra-pricey. In fact, you can skip most of the museums, as The Horse Soldier has more than they do and viewing them is free. When I say ultra-pricey, I really mean ultra-pricey.

For example, the price of an authentic Confederate Officers I noted was set at $32,500 (see my photo) and that is for real, they mean it. Authentic Civil War items are prized and popular with collectors, and as far as those items go, The Horse Soldier not only seems to have the most of them but the very best of them. The people who staff The Horse Soldier really know their stuff and stick with it, keeping it real without fakes, reproductions or phonies.

Why pay to go to museum when you go into this store it's filled with artifacts from the Civil War I bought one myself for just $20 there's guns there's posters pictures uniforms you name it it's a supermarket of historical items from the Civil War and World War II World War I

Very impressive collection of primarily 19th century artifacts. Especially firearms. They have private parking on the side of the building. Even if you aren't buying this is a cool place to just browse.

The horse soldier is a great place for any collector like THE PEOPLE'S MUSEUM and Mark Sepanski we buy a lot of Military thing from the Horse Soldier since 1982 so go to the horse soldier

I have purchased several items over the past year, including a musket, buckles and pistol among other things, both in person and on line. I have found the staff to be most helpful and knowledgeable. Although I am no expert, it appears that their prices are reasonable. What they say is what you get.

I am a collector of antique weapons. Horse Soldier is the best place I have been to in terms of quantity of old swords, guns, etc AND people on staff who really know the products. I have bought several antique forearms there at very good prices. Five Stars

This business has a LOT of artifacts - some are quite rare and expensive while others are more affordable. They have a wide selection of antique weaponry (their specialty evidently) as well as smaller artifacts, documents, and photos. It is all a bit overwhelming as so much of it is crammed into the space. Their prices were quite reasonable, in my opinion. Alas, I cannot say that for the customer service. Compared to The Union Drummer Boy store, their service is awful.

We asked several different staff members to help us find a nice, reasonably priced artifact we could take a souvenir, preferably related to Indiana or North Carolina (our home states), but all they would say is "we don't have anything from there" and move on to the next person or one guy just flat out stopped talking to us without even anyone else to help.

If you don't want assistance or only want very specific assistance for a specific item you have already seen in the store, their service is awful. But, they do have a wide variety reasonably priced.so it's worth a stop in.

This place is awesome! It has stuff in every price range! I was greeted as i came in. I apologized for my umbrella and they said dont worry about it.i was looking at cases and they said if you need to look at something, ask and they will come unlock the case so you can look at it! Always go here when i go to Gettysburg and always leave with stuff!

This time i got a $50 Confederate note and a piece of wood from Libby Prison. Andrew was very polite helping me out! A great place, so if you're looking for a Civil War antique, this is the place!
