This OUT OF PRINT catalogue lists and describes 174 lots of exquisitely detailed Vintage Firearms and Sporting Rifles !

Included are - mostly rifles and what they call guns, but I assume they mean hunting rifles? -- they still look like rifles to me -- single and double barrel hammerless backlock non-ejector, falling-block, hammer, sidelock ejector, self-opening sidelock ejector pigeon-guns - of various bores, among others!

Makers include - Henry, Holland + Holland, Purdey, Rigby, Army + Navy, Boss, Churchill, Blanch, Beretta, among others!

The majority of the items are rifle-like sporting guns of all kinds. Many have intricate engravings on the metal work of the mechanism part.

For well over 20 years I have been adding these extremely well illustrated, frequently monographic auction catalogues as reference sources to my personal library, and was always absolutely thrilled to find something dealing with my eclectic interests. As with many of the books in my research library, I frequently, when possible, obtained duplicate copies, as I like to have one to use and another as a back-up. They are really a UNIQUE source for hard-to-find data and for use as identification guides, usually containing information about the size, media, dates, styles, signatures, estimated values, and often data on the artist or maker. Older catalogues are usually extremely difficult to find!

Book in EXCELLENT Condition!!

My eBay goodies are offered in the hopes that I may be able to share my finds with others. They are the result of almost 50 years of collecting!

Further useful collector information may be found on my AUCTION INFO pages, including hints for successful bidding, record keeping and some of the problems you may encounter.

I only ship using U.S.Postal Service PRIORITY mail, with TRACKING, (smaller and lighter items would be $4.84 ) // including packing/handling, which would be greater for certain more delicate items //. Depending on the final winning bid, buyer may wish INSURANCE, which would be EXTRA, and this is SUGGESTED as I am logically NOT responsible for items once they are sent at the Post Office. MULTIPLE ITEM WINNERS MAY SAVE ON SHIPPING!!

Personal checks are ALWAYS welcome from my winning bidders located in the United States.

**NON-USA BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE - Foreign Global Priority shipping costs more. I accept ONLY PayPal OR Money Order payments for items won by winning bidders in other countries.
