It’s the one book about antique arms collecting that the dealer, trader, collector or merely casually interested cannot do without. Includes all the basic tools for identifying, valuing & collecting antique American firearms
Celebrating its 30th year as the acknowledged "Bible" for antique arms collectors and with over one million copies already in circulation this new 9th Edition tops them all!
With values for over 4,000 individual antique firearms (c. 1750-1914) and 1900 photographs, the collector is certain to find this latest issue the best yet and one that lives up to its long-established reputation as "...quite simply the best and most important study of antique American arms ever written" (Man-at-Arms Magazine) and "Indispensable" (The Gun Report).
Unanimously acclaimed by the critics and reviewers as among the most complete and thorough arms books extant, it ranks as the most comprehensive book on antique gun collecting ever produced!
Included are individual chapters on every major American arms maker all lesser makers are listed by type, such as: American Percussion Pistols (Classified by: Revolvers Pepperboxes Single Shots Deringers Underhammers.). Separate chapters on American Metallic Cartridge Handguns (one of largest in the book) Confederate Arms; Kentucky Rifles; Single Shot Rifles (Muzzle Loading and Breech Loading) Colonial and Rev. War Arms Repeating Rifles. The chapters on U.S. Military Longarms and Military Single Shot Pistols alone are worth the cost of the book. The American Shotguns chapter is the first in-depth coverage of them, while Chapter 18 individually covers (and values) 8 categories of antique American arms seldom mentioned or discussed in any guide: American Whaling Guns; Indian Trade Guns and Indian used guns; Alarm Guns; American Blunderbusses; early American Spring and Air Guns; and even Salute and Yacht Cannons.
For the American historian, folklorist and general antique arms collector, the new chapter on DUELING AND DUELING PISTOLS is certain to raise some eyebrows with its Incursions On Virgin Territory in which the author has actually thrown down the gauntlet and fired the very first salvo to question and provide a logical rationale for understanding the fascinating subjects of dueling in early America and the pistols said to have been specifically designed for that gentlemanly practice.
AND THAT’S NOT ALL new inroads are made to recognize the very history of American arms collecting itself. Other relevant discussions new to this edition assess the increasing influence of antique firearms auctions to this hobby; a new section on the history of antique arms periodicals and publications and their impact on the hobby; and for the first time anywhere, a history of the very first American antique firearms collection and catalog (1899) of the famous A.E. Brooks Collection of Hartford, Conn. and its subsequent exhibition in 1906 by the Smithsonian Institution and its later adversities.
Perhaps the words of Mike Carrick, Staff Editor of the "Questions and Answers" columns of the Gun Report magazine said it best. Fielding a heavy volume of inquiries about antique arms on a daily basis he wrote: I have over 2500 books on guns and edged weapons, but I have only [Flayderman’s Guide] on my desk for constant daily use in answering my column’s inquiries it is the most useful book in my library." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
