Pistols & Revolvers from 1400 to the present day

Pistols, including revolvers, are also the preferred weapon of choice for the assassin. President Lincoln, Bobby Kennedy and Mohandas Gandhi were all killed with pistol. Although now live-firing pistols are banned in this country, legally deactivated pistols and antique pistols can be owned and these are very popular with collectors.

This work is aimed at collectors, but this volume is really suited for those just beginning to collect pistols as experienced collectors would expect something more detailed. Covering early flintlock pistols to modern types this book is a starting point for identifying weapons and is as good a work as any.
