A brand new soft cover copy, 2004 Naval & Military Press facsimile reprint. Originally published in 1924, xvi + 108pp with 141 illustrations and plates. Limited edition of 500 copies. Among the many valuable volumes in the well-tilled field of firearms history, this book stands out. Its importance lies in its detailed look at the development of weapons from the 16th to the 19th centuries from the wheel and matchlock to the percussion system. Early in that period gunsmiths made customised individual weapons, with no interchangeable parts, and only rough parity in ballistics. Jackson looks at these early weapons, and then describes the Snaphaunce guns that followed them. The flintlocks and muskets of the 17th Century and 18th Century come next, with the percussion bullet completing the story. There is a substantial appendix on Scottish Firearms by Charles E. Whitelaw, accompanied by a list of Scottish gun makers. Scottish guns were finely made and had a style of their own, which is well illustrated by this section. There are 141 illustrations which add greatly to this volume’s value and to the feast of information it contains. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.…

We are a small rare book dealer based in Cheltenham, in the UK. We stock, typically, less than a thousand books -- all of them chosen because they have a strong appeal to us, and we think they will appeal to others. We have ended up specialising for no particular reason than we like them, in art, antiques, aviation, music, Irish books, birds...and some fiction modern first editions! But a few other goodies have crept in as well.
