The Double Gun Journal Vol. 8 No. 1 - Spring 1997 - Magazine (w/vinyl-like cover with gold gilt) - Published by Daniel Philip Côté - 192 pages (with numerous black & white and color photos and illustrations) - Very good condition.  The Double Gun Journal was a very stylish publication, with a very low print run, printed on high quality glossy paper and dedicated to the sportsman & collector of double guns. It was published quarterly from 1989 through 2022, by Daniel Philip Côté and edited by Joanna Lynn Côté.  The Double Gun Journal was the world's finest publication entirely devoted to classic game guns and rifles. Every issue was dedicated to the preservation and circulation of knowledge about the world’s classic double-barrel shotguns.  Each stylish issue contained invaluable reference information and was richly illustrated with beautiful color and black & white photos and illustrations to deepen appreciation for collectible, and often very usable, firearms from the last two hundred and fifty years. Simply put, there has never been another publication like The Double Gun Journal anywhere!
