ABOUT HSCA

The High Standard Collectors' Association was founded in 1991 to promote friendship and communication among the those interested in the collection, research, preservation and use of High Standard firearms, memorabilia and accessories. We include the Fiala, Hartford Arms and Schall firearms as part of our group. They were the direct predecessors to High Standard.

Newsletter:

HSCA publishes a critically acclaimed quarterly newsletter which includes articles and photographs of High Standards. Members are encouraged to participate by asking questions of the group on the forum. The forum is also used to review or make comments regarding High Standard products. Members may advertise to sell or buy High Standard items, or make comments related to High Standard products. We also publish pieces from historic High Standard literature. In order to share information we have copied previous newsletters to DVD. They are available for sale to members only.
