A beautifully illustrated and highly regarded reference on the evolution of British sporting guns and rifles during the golden age of gunmaking. Donald Dallas chronicles the dramatic advancements from muzzleloaders to breech-loading, centerfire, and hammerless firearms between 1850 and 1900, featuring renowned makers such as Purdey, Holland & Holland, Boss, and Westley Richards. Packed with hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs, patent drawings, and historical research, this is an essential reference for collectors, historians, and sporting arms enthusiasts.
