Gunsmiths / gun manufacturers
Was your interest piqued by yesterday's books on rifles and pistols? Why not check out our collection of books on gunsmiths and gun manufacturers?
There's a beautiful deluxe edition in a slipcase of "The Henry Rifle: The Story of Benjamin Tyler and His Famed Repeating Rifle". Not only a fascinating story of a gunsmith but a lovely limited edition copy of this book (lettered copy C).
Or check out The Early Purdeys, The Colt Whitneyville-Walker, or the manufacture of early Dutch Firearms.
There's an interesting book on the gunsmith John Dafte, a 17th Century London gunmaker. It is fully illustrated with colour and black&white photographs and plenty of plans & drawings, including a detailed illustrated catalogue of the 19 surviving specimens of his guns.
Just browse the website and you'll find much much more.
