Poor Richards' British Gun Shop, founded in 1975 by the Richards Family in Harmony Township, NJ, initially supplied firearms to Bi-Centennial re-enactors and later transitioned to reproducing WW1 Austro-Hungarian leather items. With the use of traditional techniques and machinery, such as the 1908 British Jones' hand-crank sewing machine, they meticulously craft haversacks, bread bags, and other historical accessories for Victorian British, American Civil War, and WW1 reenactors.
Despite facing challenges such as accidents, storms, and personal setbacks, Poor Richards' British Gun Shop remains committed to delivering high-quality, made-to-order historical reproductions. Their attention to detail and use of American-made materials, along with their notable collaborations with Canadian military history museums and regiments, showcase their dedication to preserving the past through their meticulously crafted products.
