About This Item
New York: Harper, [1957]. Hardcover. Poor. 32 cm, 192 pages. Profusely illustrated (some with some color). Index. Corners bumped. Part of cloth over boards discolored and part of cloth at the back cover is -gone and some page discoloration and loss of material at bottom edges at the back with no loss of text. This tells the story of firearms development from the invention of gunpowder through the Mauser 98 Bolt Rifle. Included are many great pictures of very rare historical guns and methods of use, manufacture and accoutrements. Cover is disreputable but the contents are quite serviceable.
