by Ronald Lister
A book for antique firearms collectors that was so well regarded when it came out that it was reviewed in an academic, not layperson’s, journal (The Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research). Current reviews call it a thorough and useful introduction to gunsmithing for these collectors, even going so far as helping them build their work bench and tools that may no longer be available for such rare weapons. The book is full of illustrations, both black-and-white photographs and line drawings, including “exploded” diagrams. Our copy is in near-perfect condition, with a dust jacket that is almost as good.
