About this title

Synopsis

A groundbreaking treatise based on fifteen years of research, Torsten Lenk's classic study of the flintlock has been acclaimed for decades as the essential book on the subject. His passion for this historic weapon was almost as remarkable as his precision and his eye for detail. From his post as Director of the Swedish Royal Armory, he traveled far and wide to inspect thousands of rare weapons stored in private collections. His illuminating volume encompasses the development of this essential hunting and fighting tool, and it is without equal as a reference for flintlock collectors, dealers, or owners—or for anyone with an interest in weapons and history.

About the Author

worked at the Swedish Royal Armoury for over thirty years, serving as Director for a large portion of his career.

Store Description

The Dyfi Valley Bookshop was established by Barbara Beeby in 1988 in a conservation area of the ancient market town of Machynlleth, mid-Wales. It has a relaxing atmosphere, a wood burner in winter, and a friendly black labrador, Lochie. We have a large general stock in addition to the specialist subject matter listed on this page. The town itself is very attractive and well worth a visit, situated as it is in the lovely valley of the river Dyfi (Dovey) which runs through the hills to the Irish Sea at Aberdyfi nine miles away. Owain Glyndwr established the first Welsh parliament here in 1404, and the building still stands. Why not pay us a visit? You won't regret it.
