Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 2nd Edition. A complete overview of the Birmingham gun trade and its history as well as a listing of the Birmingham Gunmakers. Second Trade Edition, 190 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Very well illustrated, some photographs in color. Birmingham Gunmakers is the most complete work ever published on the gunmakers from this famous British gunmaking city. The author gives a thorough overview of the origins of the Birmingham gun trade as well as a history of how the city came to the foreground as one of the sporting-gun-manufacturing centers of the world. He covers the well-known makers as well as the obscure--those who have long since ceased production and vanished in the mists of time. Birmingham has produced some of the most famous names in the world of sporting guns, such as W.W. Greener, William Powell, Westley richards and many othes. All of these are thoroughly covered and the book is illustrated with some of the finest examples from the craftsmen of these famous gunmakers. Information on the Birmingham Gun Barrel Proof House, buying and evaluating a Birmingham gun, as well as a glossary of gunmaker terms are also covered. An invaluable book for anybody interested in fine sporting arms. There is a gift inscription to the former owner. Otherwise this is a beautiful Very Fine As New copy. Artikel-Nr. RC057
