As the sapling Christopher Ward London has grown into a good-sized oak, so have the number of outlets you can read about them. For those who want to soak up some extra Chris Ward goodness, but are yet to discover Google, I’ve compiled this semi-helpful list of Christopher Ward media channels:
Christopher Ward Website
“No s**t, Sherlock”, I hear you cry. Yes, it’s a bit obvious, but in case you’ve not already found them, the Our Story section makes for an interesting read, as does this piece on the JJ Calibres and the Owner’s Manual Archive is a great place to find info on older models - although quite a few are missing.

Christopher Ward Forum
Founded seemingly minutes after CW hit the internet in 2005, the Christopher Ward Chat Forum is arguably the best place to read and learn about the brand. Christopher Ward bought it a few years ago, but it’s still run with the same ‘warts and all’ independence it had from day one. A few glass-half-empty types can bring the general tone down a bit, but if you ignore the few, you’ll find the many create a very friendly and knowledgable environment.
Christopher Ward Archive
A monumental compilation of just about every Christopher Ward model that’s ever existed including many little-known military specials, Kip McEwen’s Christopher Ward Archive is a gold mine of Christopher Ward information and trivia. I have to confess to spending hours lapping up the info, perfect for a CW anorak like me!

Christopher Ward Aficionados
Facebook-based CW fan page, Christopher Ward Aficionados is 100% Christopher Ward based chat and is a great place to kill time with like-minded CW fans.

Christopher Ward Enthusiasts
Another Facebook-based page is Christopher Ward Enthusiasts, which is predominantly Christopher Ward based discussion, but members often also discuss other brands in amongst the CW chatter.
