Book Description
THE ULTIMATE RESOURCE TO GUN COLLECTING--
WITH MORE THAN 32,000 PRICES LISTED!
After interning with such venerable institutions as the Royal Armouries, H.M. Tower of London, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, R. L. Wilson was appointed the curator of firearms at the prestigious Wadsworth Atheneum at the age of twenty-three. Since then, Wilson has become the foremost figure in the area of collectible firearms. Now, he shares his lifetime of experience, insight, and knowledge about collecting, buying, and selling firearms with you.
The Official R. L. Wilson Price Guide to Gun Collecting covers more than 32,000 prices from Colt revolvers and Winchester rifles and shotguns to German Lugers and British sporting rifles and game guns--and much more. This essential reference also features a unique history of arms collecting from the Renaissance to modern times, a comprehensive bibliography of important firearms reference works, a complete international listing of collector clubs and organizations, a comprehensive review of the '98-'99 season, and a lavish full-color insert highlighting the year in the collector's world.
From the Publisher
It's very exciting to have an expert of R. L. Wilson's caliber working with us at House of Collectibles. His knowledge of firearms is awe-inspiring! The stories he tells about gunsmiths of the past and present-day manufacturers are every bit as important as the pricing information he provides. Take a look at the Colt section within the price listings. In future editions he will be providing the kind of inside information you see there for other companies as well. House of Collectibles is looking forward to a long association with Mr. Wilson, and gun collectors will benefit!
