It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of Charles “Butch” Steen. Butch has been a part of Sarco ever since he could walk and talk and has helped his father Cholly make Sarco what it is today. He will be greatly missed by the entire Sarco family as well as his many friends. Please see the full obituary below.

What today is arguably the largest dealer in surplus war material in the country, Sarco (an acronym for Steen Armament Research Company), Inc., of Easton, Pennsylvania, actually began quite humbly in the attic of a small apartment. Charles "Cholly" Steen, the company's founder, recalls his next major expansion came by moving into a barn some years later, and then into his first store, all in the anti-gun state of New Jersey.
