1900 1st edition. Sampson, Low, Marston & Co. London. 4to. Ppxxviii,590,ads. B/w portrait photographs, illustrations, original plain red cloth. Corners bumped & some browning but good-plus.
Notes: Teasdale-Buckell was editor of "Land and Water" for the last fifteen years of the nineteenth century. After much discussion of style, stance, guns and patterns, he devotes a chapter each to all of the famous gunmakers of the period. An important and fascinating book from the early days of breech-loaders and smokeless powder.
