Chicago Regimentals Co., Ltd. has been a leading name in the trade of historical arms, military equipment, and collectibles since its establishment in 1993. With a foundation rooted in decades of global expertise, the company specializes in the overseas acquisition, processing, import, and sale of authentic, non-functional weapons, as well as military uniforms and rare books.

Led by Alex Miyazaki, Chicago Regimentals is not only a key supplier to collectors but also serves the media industry by providing weapons and equipment for films, television, and publications. The company handles certified antique weapons recognized as art, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations, including Japan’s “Registration Certificate for Weapons, Arms, and Swords.”

Operating globally, Chicago Regimentals boasts partnerships and facilities in the UK, Austria, and across Europe, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the United States. They maintain a UK-based factory with a Section 5 license, enabling the handling of all military-grade weapons—making them the only Japanese company with such capabilities. Their robust logistical network ensures regular operations in Europe, supported by a partner warehouse in Austria.

With a legacy that spans over four decades, including pioneering ventures in the UK and US since the late 1970s, Chicago Regimentals has grown to include multiple showrooms, warehouses, and specialized facilities in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagano. Their dedication to sourcing unique items, unmatched by competitors, has earned them a reputation as a trusted authority in the field.

Today, they continue to expand with initiatives such as the Nagoya Sword Museum and collaborations with international project teams, reinforcing their position as a global leader in historical arms and military collectibles.
