 THE SHOTGUN
Boothroyd, Geoffrey - SP
Price $34.95 SB
This is the first volume in a series of
books that traces the development of the British shotgun from the seventeenth century
onward. In these pages, the following periods are covered: early history, flint guns,
percussion guns, muzzle–loaders, breechloaders, the period of Lefaucheux (thought to
be the inventor of the breechloader), and the period thereafter. In addition, the many
patents and developments of the British gunmakers are recorded. An exceptionally useful
book for the gun enthusiast, both as a reference work and as entertaining reading.
