This site documents Leon and Ralph Lovett's private collection of Artillery, Anti-Tank Guns, Naval Guns, and Mortars.

This collection is used for study of historic artillery and ordnance related technology from 1800-1957.

Unless otherwise noted, all color photographs on the web site are images of actual examples within the Lovett Collection.

In some cases, period black & white photographs and drawings depict pieces outside of the collection.

Our goal is restoring and maintaining operational historic artillery pieces plus their associated equipment.

All artillery within the collection produced after 1898 is registered in the US with BATF

(If the piece is post 1957 it has been de-militarized to BATF Standards).

We are in no way a politically oriented group.

Elements of this collection may be considered for Movie Props Rental.

The Lovett Collection has been involved a number of movies to include Glory, Legends of the Fall, General's Daughter and recent work with Skywalker Sound for the upcomming Speilberg film War Horse.
