About this Item

Some light spots of foxing to edge of text block. Bound in simulated leather binding with raised gold colored lettering. Illustrated with black and white photos, facsimile documents, and technical drawings throughout. Printed on heavy coated paper; 367 pages. The work focuses on the inventive genius of Andrew Burgess who worked in the field of Lever Action Magazine Rifles a mere sixteen years, but saw his work embroiled in intense lawsuits featuring the giants of the firearms industry. With 894 patents, Andrew Burgess was one of the most prolific firearm inventors the world has ever known (second only to John Browning in number of firearms patents issued to an American). The author uses a technical and pictorial approach to his subject, as he was a collector writing for fellow collectors. An uncommon title.
