The Silah Report Reference Collection is constantly trying to increase our breadth and diversity of items that enhance the study of historical and contemporary small arms in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asian regions of the world. Whether it may be functioning firearms for reference study/test and evaluation, accouterments and equipment such as holsters or cleaning gear, or archival materials such as published books, manuals, posters, and printed material. As long as there is a technical, historical, cultural, or martial small arms and light weapons connection to the item, we are potentially interested in acquiring it for the reference collection to better serve qualified researchers in their fields of study.

Proceeds from Silah Shop sales help fund this collection. Solicitations and sales should be sent to sales@silahreport.com. We also accept donations as long as they are seen to be of historic or contemporary research value. All transactions resulting in collection items physically in the United States of America must abide by US Federal and State laws regarding the particular item whether that be a functional firearm or printed material.
