We started ordering with BearArm last year and they could not have been more helpful whether it be advice on products to buy or how to look after them. The delivery service is also very quick and efficent.

My dealings with Mr Schofield have been a pleasant experience, and the company have treated me very well, with efficiency and politeness. (something that seems to be missing in our present lives) A pleasure to do business with him, and hope to continue to do so in the future.
Mr D Jones
After training with Bokken’s and borrowed swords I took the decision to purchase my own Katana sword from the Practical Series. I found the choice, price and expert advice very valuable and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from this company again in the future.

Mr K Deakin
I found Oriental Weaponry most helpful in speaking to them, and the service was excellent - as well as prices!
Mr D Powell
Peter Schofield of BearArm is a great guy to do business with, especially if you are an Overseas buyer like me, who needed timely updates & courteous correspondences; there was once a sword stand was found to be broken upon reaching me; I feedback to Peter & he promptly promised to have it replaced without further question. And later when he found out that this item was out of stock, he promptly refunded the amount. Excellent services. Highly recommended!

Mr S Topley
Whilst my experience with your company was a single 'one off' purchase I would like you to know how very pleased I was with the service you gave. My wife had wanted a suit of armour (for display!) for a long time and I found your web site just before Christmas in 2005.I telephoned your office and explained the Armour would be for a Christmas present and asked if you could arrange delivery before Christmas. This was on December 16th. You assured me it could be delivered before Christmas and to my amazement it arrived at 8.30am the next day.I was delighted with the service and quality and the way my order was handled and am very grateful to you for helping to make it such a good Christmas.The full suit of armour now has pride of place in our house.Thank you once again for such good service and good luck with your new web site.
Mr PK Morris
I have purchased from BearArm a few times now.Great service and Quality. Thanks!
Mr J Killen
This is just a note to express how pleased I was with the service I received from Medieval Weaponry. I had been searching for a Highland Targe for some time when I came across your site. The prices were excellent, considerably less than other companies. I travel and would only be in the UK for a short period, you arranged delivery very quickly and I am extremely pleased with the quality and presentation of the piece. All the best in the future.
Mr T Smillie

I am practicing martial artist and have placed 3 orders with Oriental-Weaponry.co.uk (Beararm.com) and have been pleased with the price, speed and efficiency of every order (they were also very helpful when I made a mistake during one of them). Because of this I have recommended this company to all of my martial arts friends!

Medieval-Weaponry (BearArm) without question leads the way in every way in terms of product, pricing, packaging/delivery and service. When it comes to the finest, most extensive range of all things medieval and historical, they truly are it! I was thrilled with every piece purchased and online communication re delivery etc was A1!
JME
Having bought various items from BearArm in the past and always been pleased with both the products and the service received, I shall certainly be adding your site to my favourites list.
Mr D Ashby
There is no other training course like ours and we are building a stage combat armoury like no other trainer in the country. We have a constant need to locate reliable sources that can supply quality equipment in moderate quantities at prices that are affordable. Peter Schofield and Medieval Weaponry (now Bear Arm Ltd) have proved to be reliable and helpful with all our requests. Equipment arrived when he said it would and we were kept informed about stock on order. I have had no hesitation in recommending Peter’s company to fellow professionals.”
Mr N Hall
I have nothing but respect & admiration for Mr Schofeild & the BearArm (Historical Firearms) company. I purchased an 1851 colt navy revolver, which got lost in transit. Not only did Mr Schofeild do everything in his power to locate my revolver, he gave me a refund & was about to send me a replacement. Very much appreciated, however unnecessary, as my original revolver finally arrived. I was extremely pleased with both my revolver & the honourable conduct of Mr Schofield.

Dealing with your company has been a pleasure, and seldom have I experienced such committment to customer care. I ordered a Paul Chen Practical Plus Katana, and a couple of smaller items, and they were disptached in extremely rapid fashion; arriving in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to do business with you again the future, nor would I hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend you to others.
Mr D Goodwin
After purchasing a couple of Katanas' from Oriental-weaponary.co.uk, I would be happy to recommend BearArm to anyone looking for not just good prices, but also good customer service.

Ed Purcell
Although not a long time customer of Oriental Weaponry, in the time I have done buisness with them I have found them helpful and professional in their approach to dealing with customers and certainly wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to any of my friends and associates at the club. They have also taken it on themselves to regularly update me on the proposed law changes affecting my sport and offers regarding weapons that might interest me. A very good supplier.
R Giles
With the many products I have purchased through both BearArm's Medieval and Oriental Weaponry, I have been most pleased. Quick, pleasant and, above all, of excellent quality, their service has assured a return visit from myself. I could not be happier.
As a good example, I had one order consisting of two products, but only one of them could be delivered. I was e-mailed this, and a continued e-mail correspondence kept me informed of the status of the second product. Both items arrived on time (albeit individually) and was in, per usual, perfect condition.
What more can I say? Fantastic!
David Wilson
