English Sporting Guns and Accessories (Collectors Monographs)

Publisher's note: The chief aim in this work is to brief the new collector in search of antique weapons which are still shootable; to show how to handle them, and their accessories, with suitable precautions in the field; and to evoke the period, the world of the old sporting aquatints, woodcuts and early photographs, when what are now collectors' pieces were part of the living scene.
