Ed Anderson Career
Ed Anderson, a native of Syosset, Long Island, exudes an air of authority that might lead one to mistake him for a former law enforcement officer. However, Anderson’s professional domain lies within one of Madison Avenue’s most distinguished and technically unique high-end boutiques: the Beretta Gallery. As it stands today, he holds the distinction of being the sole hands-on, operational gunsmith in all of Manhattan, and the third floor of the gallery plays host to over 400 shotguns and rifles, each of which Anderson regards as his own beloved creations.
With an impressive career spanning two decades of his 45-year life journey, Anderson’s initial foray into craftsmanship revolved around the art of knife making. In the year 2000, he embarked on a new chapter by joining Beretta, a company with a historical legacy dating back to 1526, as confirmed by a documented order from the Venetian Arsenal for 185 firearms.
