Green weave cloth with spine & cover titles in gilt; 12mo; 376+7pp ads; illustrated with color frontispiece after painting plus drawings; color pictorial dust jacket. A facsimile reprinting of the original edition from 1883 which was "one of the very few early American works on firearms, and a book immediately recognized and accepted as the standard textbook of the gunsmithing profession. Historical firearms buffs and re-enactors will do well to acquire a copy of this title. Better to congratulate the good fortune of owning a copy as it is somewhat scarce." (Smith p246) This copy in near fine condition in a VG dust jacket, lightly edge chipped with slight loss to crown of spine.

Store description
I specialize in books and ephemera on fishing, hunting, archery and firearms. Within these topics are works on trout, salmon, bass, salt water, fly fishing, fly tying, rod building, tackle catalogs and reference titles. Hunting contains works on African, Asian and North American big game; bird shooting-both upland and waterfowl; plus sporting dogs. Only a small portion of my inventory is listed here so please ask for titles not seen. Wants lists are accepted and often I am able to locate these books for you. Also, my inventory can be viewed by appointment.…
