They sell antique maps too.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>James H. Cohen and Sons has been a family business since 1898. It was started by William Feldman and passed to the current owner, his grandson James, in 1958. Today the shop is run by James\u2019 son Steve and his son Barry, making for 5 generations of family operation. The shop originally dealt in all sorts of antiques (including furniture, carpets and jewelry,) but today they mostly deal in rare antique weapons, coins and currency.<\/p>\n<h2>No FFL<\/h2>\n<p>You will not find any modern guns in Cohen&#8217;s shop. They do not have an FFL and do not plan on getting one. Steve told me it was just too much of a hassle, since there would only be a few items they would be interested in. He related that when the NFA was passed in 1968 they did have a few guns in the store that were made after 1889. They sold them before the act went into effect and haven\u2019t had anything \u201cmodern\u201d since. I asked what they did had in 1968 that they had to get rid of, \u201coh, some World War I things like broom handed Mausers.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30007\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/600px-DWWHenry1860-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"selling-history-cohen-sons-new-orleans\" title=\"Selling History-Cohen and Sons of New Orleans\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30007\" title=\"Selling History-Cohen and Sons of New Orleans\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30007\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/600px-DWWHenry1860-3-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Sunkmanitu Tanka Owaci!&quot;\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/600px-DWWHenry1860-3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/600px-DWWHenry1860-3-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/600px-DWWHenry1860-3.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-30007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Sunkmanitu Tanka Owaci!&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Always Have a Henry<\/h2>\n<p>When I was talking to Barry, I asked if there has been any advice passed down through the generations. He said his grandmother always said to keep a Henry in stock. \u201cHenry\u2019s do sell well,\u201d he said. They didn\u2019t have one in when I was there. Steve said they sell pretty quickly when they do have one, and with the value continuing to go up, they are getting harder and harder to keep around.<\/p>\n<p>They did have a Henry in stock at a very opportune time. Kevin Costner was in New Orleans filming the Oliver Stone movie JFK right across the street from the Cohen\u2019s shop. Steve was able to get a note to the actor asking him to stop by and check out an original Henry like Costner had used in Dances With Wolves. Kevin and a friend stopped by shortly after the store had closed one afternoon. A retired NOPD officer providing security almost didn\u2019t let them in thinking the guy was full of it, but once things were sorted out the star spent an hour or two checking out historic guns. \u201cHe really got a kick out of holding some originals like he had used in the movies. He was smiling and giddy like a kid. I just wish he had bought them all!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Costner did pose for some pictures with Barry and his brother (who were around 10 at the time). They both cherish the photos and keep them prominently displayed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29983\" style=\"width: 223px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/1861_CSAOriginal_50C_obvlg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"selling-history-cohen-sons-new-orleans\" title=\"Selling History-Cohen and Sons of New Orleans\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29983\" title=\"Selling History-Cohen and Sons of New Orleans\" class=\"wp-image-29983 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/1861_CSAOriginal_50C_obvlg-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"This is the coin that was once in the Cohen's store.

They have a lot of coins. They also had for a short time one of the most sought after coins in existence, a Confederate Half Dollar. There are only 4 known to exist. They were minted just a short distance from the Cohen\u2019s shop in the New Orleans Mint in 1861. About a 100 years later, James Cohen traded one for about $10,000 worth of other coins. \u201cI wish we could get that coin back. But when dad traded it, the money he made from selling the other coins kept this shop going\u201d. The half dollar that was once in the Cohen\u2019s shop is going up for auction this March. The last one that sold at auction went for over $600,000 in 2003.<\/p>\n<h2>Not a Museum<\/h2>\n<p>There are some awesome museum quality pieces in the Cohen\u2019s shop. But this is not a museum; it is a store. They are more than happy to have people in who are just looking around, but if you aren\u2019t serious about making a purchase then you probably won&#8217;t get to handle anything. Of course, you don\u2019t typically get to touch the stuff in a museum either!<\/p>\n<p>I will let the photos do the rest of the talking about James H. Cohen and Sons. If you are ever in New Orleans, you really should stop in to the store. It is easy to find, just across from the Louisiana Supreme Court Building on Royal Street in the French Quarter.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29955\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_1338.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"selling-history-cohen-sons-new-orleans\" title=\"Selling History-Cohen and Sons of New Orleans\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29955\" title=\"Selling History-Cohen and Sons of New Orleans\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_1338-400x250.jpg\" alt=\"1866 Winchester Musket in the Cohen's shop.
