Product Description:
Here is a comprehensive history of Winchester rifles and shotguns, with over 150 dazzling full-colour photographs.
The History of Winchester Firearms is a captivating and wonderfully photographed history of one of the most legendary names in gun lore. Oliver Winchester, the founder of the company, was an astute businessman who hired the best rifle designers and also acquired companies and patents in order to create a range of firearms that were produced in the thousands for years. His rifles were the favorite weapons of the cowboys and lawmen of the West, and are now highly sought-after and valuable collectibles throughout the world.
The History of Winchester Firearms describes in magnificent detail all of the Winchester rifles, including the most used rifle in the history of the West, the phenomenally successful Winchester '73 repeating rifle. Complete with more than 150 full-colour photographs of the rifles and of various gun-making artifacts, copies of designers' drawings, and interesting photographs of the rifles in the hands of users from both sides of the law, The History of Winchester Firearms is a perfect addition to the library of Wild West buffs, amateur historians, and lovers of firearms.
