BRITISH GUNMAKERS VOL III: INDEX, APPENDICES AND ADDITIONAL LONDON, BIRMINGHAM, REGIONAL AND SCOTTISH RECORDS.

Notes:
This is the third volume following the author's excellent British Gunmakers Volumes I & II. This volume augments the astonishingly detailed research of the first two, with information on "around 120 additional Birmingham, Scottish and regional gunmaking firms and over seventy additional London ones. These volumes are undoubtedly the best printed sources of historical information on their subject available anywhere in the world". Truly comprehensive in scope, the British Gunmakers series is one of those rare works which is genuinely authoritative and, for the foreseeable future, definitive. It will be many years before Nigel Brown's British Gunmakers series will be surpassed, if ever. British Gunmakers Vol. I covers the London gun trade whilst Vol. II deals with Birmingham, Scotland and the rest of Britain. Our stock numbers for Vols. I and II are 12128 and 12129, respectively. This copy of Vol. III is one of an issue limited to 100 numbered copies. Signed by Nigel Brown, this book is fully bound in black leather with raised bands and gilt titles on the spine, gilt page edges and a silk marker and presented in a black cloth slip-case. This issue matches the deluxe leather bound edition of volumes I and II, which were issued as a matching pair, together in a slipcase, our stock number 15719.
