Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 268 pages. 8.75" x 11.25". Savage failed in its attempts to usurp Colt as the supplier of the official sidearm for the U.S. military (the Model 1911 earned that honor), but the effort spawned a commercially successful semi-automatic pistol. The fascinating story of the Model 1907 is a must-read for anyone with an interest in quality handguns, military arms, or the venerable Savage Arms Company. Here is the complete story of Savage pistols - and much more. It also offers the first accurate account of company-founder Arthur Savage's life and his efforts to start the firm that still bears his name. Savage enthusiasts will relish the coverage of factory engraving, collectibles and memorabilia, and catalogs and advertising. Included are hundreds of high-quality photographs of stunning firearms, detailed tables providing nearly foolproof identification of every known Savage pistol model and variation, and chapters devoted to grips, cartridges, holsters, and other Savage products. An excellent book. Both the Book and the Dust Jacket are in Fine condition with only light wear.…
