I purchased this on an impulse and its not the thing i was after.

 

Printed in 1959 (good condition but with no dust cover-shown on pic but mising) has original owners name and address (in USA) of original owner

 

Author - Larry Koller

 

280 pages - book now out of print.

This volume is a 450 year panorama of the firearms that made history in America and of the legacy they bequeathed to the 15 millon hunters and target shooters who perpetuate the unique American feelig for guns today. In collaboration with Historian Harold L Peterson and Collector Herb Glass, the selection of the most important firearms was made to illustrate the text. This impressive work features numerous high quality photographs.

 

The work is divided into the following three sections:

 

* Book One - Work and War

o Old Guns in a New World

o Tools of Survival

o Arms for a New Nation

o Give Us the Guns

 

* Book Two - Rough and Ready

o The Personal Combat Weapon

o Bad Men and Peace Officers

o Gamblers and Fancy Women

 

* Book Three - Game and Target

o Whitetails

o American Big Game

o Plains Game

o Wildfowl

o Upland Birds

o Small Game

o Varmints

o Marksmanship

o Basic Gun Data

 

Looking to get my money back £15 including poatage as it is heavy (open to offers)
