About This Item
From my personal gun collector library, this is a signed and numbered (023) First edition. A plate pasted to the inside of the front endpaper says that "Fifty Four copies of this Author's Edition printing have been leather bound by hand. They are numbered in the Model Room tradition. This book is copy 023." There is some wear to the color of the 5 spine bands and to the corner colors. There are absolutely first rate photographs of these early guns, a few in color but most b/w, but superbly done and crystal clear. If you are a serious student of the 1911 this book belongs in your library. Shipping will cost more than the standard rate due to the size and value of this book. Dimensions and weight are approximate. Shipping via media mail unless other arrangements are made with me; this book will be boxed with care.
Extended Description and Notes
This is the best I have ever seen about the development of the 1911 pistol. Beautiful illustrations, and this is a special deluxe binding. If by chance you are a 1911 collector you owe it to yourself to get this book.
