Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 380 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. A basic book for the study of the British Falling Block single shot rifle. The First Edition of this book was published in 1985. It was the result of an initial twelve year study to attempt to bring together the full story of this popular and interesting group of British rifles. As a result of this publication many new sources of information became available. This new expanded and revised edition is more than fifty percent larger than the first edition with many more photographs. It is the end result of some thirty-five years of collecting and recording data from existing rifles, original manufactures' records and catalogues (when they can be found), to demonstrate the mechanical and artistic details and workmanship that characterized the development and manufacture of these rifles. It is based largely on the patents used by many of the original makers. The author has tried to fill in important gaps in the history and development of the British breech-loading falling block rifle. Readers will hopefully gain a new understanding and appreciation of these splendid examples of the gun and rifle makers' art. An excellent and comprehensive study. Language: eng Language: eng.
