Item description from seller

Bramhall House, New York. 1965. Hardcover. First Printing by Letter Line (A). Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a F/O name on the FFFP and an old price sticker on the front flap. Book Condition: Fair; this book shows no water tidemarks or tide lines but does have waviness to the pages from moisture exposure; the fore edges of the boards do show color bleaching; but the book is still easy to read and turn the pages. DJ: Good; chipping to head and tail; moisture spots on the spine; wear to tips; corners of DJ have a faint green stain from book corners. Green cloth over boards and spine with black lettering on the spine. Clean internals. Inner hinges are sound and not split. 188 pp 4to. A groundbreaking treatise based on fifteen years of research, Torsten Lenk's classic study of the flintlock has been acclaimed for decades as the essential book on the subject. His passion for this historic weapon was almost as remarkable as his precision and his eye for detail. From his post as Director of the Swedish Royal Armory, he traveled far and wide to inspect thousands of rare weapons stored in private collections. His illuminating volume encompasses the development of this essential hunting and fighting tool, and it is without equal as a reference for flintlock collectors, dealers, or owners—or for anyone with an interest in weapons and history. A clean presentable reading copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. No International Shipping. Priority mailing will require additional postage.…
