Look for the guns out front.

This has been a family operated business going on three generations. My father opened the original doors on the heels of the Korean conflict. A couple years later we opened a new location in the heart of Inglewood on 9th Ave SE, “Calgary’s Original Main Street” and had our warehouse just down the street. And a couple years later in 1955, we closed up the shop on 9th and started using the warehouse as our storefront too. The building has changed a few times, expanding and adjoining the neighbouring lots over the years, but we’ve been here ever since. While the basic “Surplus Business” has changed dramatically over the years, we have carefully kept pace with the times to appeal to a broad range of consumers….from the well informed collector…to someone wanting to make a fashion statement! No question…we could probably write a best selling book about some of the fascinating people we have encountered, buying trips we have had, the wonderful (and sometimes scary) things we have discovered in storage sheds and shipments from far away lands. Crown Surplus Stores is privileged to have been a source to the film industry over the years. We have provided uniforms, mortars, firearms, tents, torpedo, camouflage nets and assorted fabulous props and treasures to the film industry. We hope you have enjoyed many of the feature films and T.V. series that

Before Amazon.

People actually had to go treasure hunting.

Some of these pieces have seen wars.
Some have crossed oceans.
Some have survived generations.

And now they're sitting right here in Drumheller.

Imagine the stories they could tell.

There's a big difference between reading about history...
..and holding it in your hands.

Our World War II newspaper reprints capture the headlines that people woke up to decades ago. The victories. The uncertainty. The moments that changed the world.

For teachers, they're a fantastic way to spark curiosity.

For history lovers, they're just plain fascinating.

And for everyone else?

They're a reminder that history wasn't always history. It was today's news.

We have a confession.

The book shelves have gotten a little... out of hand.

What started as a handful of military books has quietly turned into shelf after shelf of aviation, survival, regimental histories, field manuals, World Wars, Cold War, memoirs, and enough fascinating rabbit holes to make you forget what you came in for.

Honestly?
We're not even trying to stop it anymore.

We should probably keep Oliver away from the 3D printer.

But then we'd miss out on things like these.

Fresh off the printer: replica gr***de props, made right here in the shop.

Completely harmless.
Ridiculously cool.
Very Crown.

At this point, we're starting to have questions.

Mostly, why do we have so many SECURITY patches?

The answer is... we honestly don't know.

What we do know is we've got a mountain of them on the counter... and another three boxes waiting in the back.

So if you've been looking for SECURITY patches, congratulations, you've found your people.

If not... come in anyway. There's probably something else you didn't know you needed.
