Containing the complete history of small firearms; the techniques of the gunsmith; equipment used by combatants, sportsmen and hunters, Small Arms is the authoritative survey of one of the most fascinating aspects of the craft of weaponry. In addition, it traces the development of the match-lock, wheel-lock, flint-lock and percussion lock. The chapters on collectors and collecting, fakes and copies, repairs and restoration, and books and collections make Small Arms a collector's treasure of both practical information and sensible advice.
