With the aid of illustrations drawn mainly from private collections, he discusses guns made by such great names as Boswell, Purdey, Lang, Scott, Grant, Greener and Westley Richards. He also gives valuable accounts of weapons which came from the workshops of less well known, though equally remarkable, craftsmen who had brought British gunmaking to the peak of perfection by the opening decades of the twentieth century.
