Legendary Arms, Inc. was established in 1985 by Ms. Sudha Windlass Gupta, as a mail order company selling reproduction swords, knives, bayonets and other edged collectible items.
The first catalog had only a handful of items from the US Civil War. Some of those items like the 1860 Cavalry Saber, Enfield and Springfield Socket Bayonets, and Bowie Knives are still very good sellers due to their quality and historical accuracy.
Over the years, we have grown substantially from the 20 items we started with, to over hundreds of products offered on our website today. We have one of the largest product offerings for the Civil War enthusiast, with over 250 items available, including swords, knives, bayonets, non-firing guns, uniforms, insignias and gear.
The expansion of our Civil War product offerings was the result of the ongoing collaboration our founder, Sudha (Sue) W. Gupta, has had with the dedicated Civil War sutlers and reenactors who have been our customers over many years. If we didn't have an item, and we couldn't find it somewhere else, Sue obtained a sample or specification and worked with our oversees manufacturers to create high quality, historically accurate reproductions meeting her exacting standards.
In 2023, Sue passed the baton on to her niece, Ms. Deeksha Windlass, who is a graduate of the Terry College of Management at UGA majoring in Business Management. Deeksha desires for her customers to have a seamless transition with this ownership change but you will find changes with additional products and a fresh look with the website.
We take immense pride in providing high quality products at reasonable prices and continuously working towards the satisfaction of our valued customers.
