HOUSE OF CHURCHILL
Don Masters (531pp)
Price
$95.00 HC
The world-renowned Churchill gunmakers was formed in
1891 and is one of the best known of all English gunmakers. Many guns have
been made in London over the centuries, but few carry the cachet of a
Churchill gun! Here is the colorful history of a company that has seen
success and jubilation as well as drama and defeat. Through it all Churchill
guns remain some of the most sought-after in the world. The reader will find
in these pages the complete history as well as wonderfully entertaining
anecdotes of the Churchill family and its colorful gunmaking members,
including Edwin J. Churchill, who established the company, and Robert
Churchill, who became known as an international gunmaker and ballistics
expert. The history of the company and its guns is also thoroughly analyzed.
There is detailed information on the glory years, the famous Churchill XXV
gun, which was advocated by Robert Churchill but had its detractors, the
difficult pre-WWII years, the Atkin, Grant, & Lang years, and the age of
conglomerates. This marvelous work on the house of Churchill contains serial
numbers and dates of manufacture of its guns from 1891 forward, price lists
from 1895 onward, a complete listing of all craftsmen employed at the
company, as well as the prices realized at the famous Dallas auction where
the "last" production guns were sold. The treatment of all aspects of this
gunmaker is so thorough that it contains details that will defy even the
greatest expert! This massive work is well illustrated with hundreds of
color and black and white photos, period brochures, and gun labels, and it
includes dozens of charts, tables, appendices, and a detailed index. It was
written by Don Masters, a longtime Churchill employee, who is keeping the
flame of Churchill alive.
