Ralph and Leon Lovett with 15 cm Lang Schwerefeld Haulbitze 1913/02

This site documents Leon and Ralph Lovett’s private collection of Artillery, Anti-Tank Guns, Naval Artillery, and Mortars. This collection is used for study of historic artillery and ordnance related technology from 1800-1957. 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.

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 and General’s Daughter.

For all inquiries about use of materials (research, pictures, Movie Property Rentals) please contact
Ralph Lovett (lovett155@hotmail.com).
