Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: Fine. No date (probably about 1995). About 62 pages of information. Spiral bound soft covers. The book The Smith & Wesson Revolver N-Frame Hand Ejector is a definitive, privately published reference guide written by Walter "Pete" Vernon Roberts. It provides in-depth historical details, variations, and coll…ector insights on Smith & Wesson's iconic, large-bore N-frame revolvers.The N-frame was originally developed in 1908 with the .44 Hand Ejector First Model (famously known as the "Triple Lock"). It was purpose-built to handle larger, high-pressure cartridges like the .44 Special and eventually the .44 Magnum. Roberts' work covers the evolution of these heavy-duty "fighting pistols" through their various evolutions, including:The Triple Lock (1908?1915): Famed for its extra crane lock and ejector shroud.The Second Model (1915?1940): A simplified version produced for military service by removing the third lock and shroud.The .38/44 Heavy Duty (1930): Built on the massive N-frame to handle high-velocity .38 Special rounds.The .357 Magnum (1935): The original predecessor to the modern magnum era. Only privately published in very small quantities. Rare. A Fine copy with only light use at a reasonable price.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After awakening from a powerful coma, Arkani finds himself changed-his body stronger, his magic refined, and his connection to the mysterious blank book deeper than ever. Reunited with his companions Aleeza, Mael, Zaire, and Serah, the group sets off on a new journey. Peace is short-lived, h…owever, as a dangerous new enemy emerges.A mysterious cult led by a brilliant and manipulative figure known only as The Master rises in power. His control over a thousand loyal followers-bound by mind magic and devotion-is absolute. Accompanying him are his elite twin lieutenants, Roy and Rex, twin warriors capable of teleportation and savage hand-to-hand combat, with the ability to transform into terrifying werewolves.The group travels to a remote island under the Master's control and, unaware of the full danger, agrees to retrieve a powerful artifact from a dragon's cave in exchange for a mysterious pendant. This item, once delivered, drastically increases the Master's control over the minds of his people. But the deal comes at a cost-Roy betrays the agreement, ambushes Mael, and is killed in a brutal showdown.Back on the island, Rex launches a full assault with the cult's warriors. A monstrous creature is released, and the group fights valiantly in a devastating battle. Arkani channels dark tamhu energy, creating an army of golems and defeating Rex-only for Rex to kidnap Serah and vanish into smoke.Months pass. Arkani awakens from another long coma, haunted by the loss of Serah. A vision reveals she is brainwashed and back on the island. The group returns to confront the Master and face Rex once more in a climactic battle inside a coliseum. With Serah watching coldly under mind control, the Master revives a zombified Roy. The group fights both Roy and Rex as the Master escapes yet again.Ultimately, Arkani summons incredible dark tamhu to overpower Rex and rescue Serah. The Master vanishes. Serah is healed and freed from control. Zaire nearly dies from a cursed wound but is resurrected using a one-use pendant of life. The group returns to Velmoor, where they are hailed as heroes-but they know this is not the end. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
