The Modern Gunsmith by James Howe 1st EDITION SIGNED & INSCRIBED 1934

I & II by James Howe INSCRIBED by the Author 1934. Both volumes are inscribed in the Authors hand as follows. With the best wishes of the author J. These two volumes I present to the Officers and to the library at the Royal Arsenal, Norwich.

Permit me to offer some apology, and the reader some explanation. This work has been written more for the guns hobbyist and those who are fond of guns, rather than for professional production purposes; but, leaving the reader perhaps, with many useful suggestions, which he may find between the covers to be used for the purpose intended. A wonderful pair of reference books from the heyday of hands-on gunsmithing with a very strong personal connection to the Author. These books detail traditional methods, materials, tools and techniques for working with all aspects of firearms. Richly illustrated with many clear prints and photos.

Condition can be seen from the photos, the spines and covers are intact, there are no dog-eared pages. Will be packed to protect from transit damage, so please expect an oversize box!
