Description:
Brand new from the publisher in the original shrink wrap, unopened. 108 pages large format book featuring guns engraved by America's most famous engraver as well as his engraving plates used to create his masterpieces. The personal work record of one of 19th Century America's foremost firearms engravers. Augmented by a comprehensive text, photographs of deluxe-engraved firearms, and detailed indexes. L.D. Nimschke's record covers the second half of the 19th Century - a golden era in the engraved decoration of firearms. Tremendously prolific, he was a highly skilled workmaster for over 100 different makers and manufacturers and was expert in all the contemporary engraving styles. His record is a veritable archive of gun engraving, 1850-1900. Represented are Nimschke-engraved firearms by Colt, Winchester, Remington, Sharps, Smith & Wesson, Ballard, Manhattan, Marlin, Merwin Hulbert & Co., Spencer, Starr, Tranter, Greener, Whitney, and innumerable other American and European makers. The first book on the history of American arms engraving. Illustrated by over 100 pages of engravings by L.D. Nimschke, plus over 40 photographs of Nimschke-engraved firearms. An outstanding and important classic firearms reference book. Probably the most important gun engraving book ever published.
