Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 2nd Impression. Slight wear to edges of D/J. Price clipped. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of guns from the invention of gunpowder and the first simple handguns to the automatic rifles and powerful big-game guns of today. Dividing his subject under…five headings - guns in warfare, sporting guns and rifles, guns of the American West, duelling pistols and self-protection guns - the author sets out to show how the gun has been adapted to meet particular needs and how, in some cases, new inventions changed the course of events. A final chapter traces the main trends in European gun decoration. Illustrated with 138 illustrations in black and white and 32 in full colour. 127 pp.
