Old German Target Arms - Alte Scheibenwaffen - Volume 3

Description: Old German Target Arms - Alte Scheibenwaffen - Volume 3 - Schutzen Pistols, Misc A study of the various German target arms reveals a vast and little understood subject. Oddly, no books in either Germany or the United states have been written on this subject in over 80 years. This third volume starts with a substantial section on indoor target shooting, i.e. Zimmerstutzen. Rifles, pistols, targets, and accessories are shown and discussed. The second section covers Scheiben Pistolen. Section 3 is all about Memorabilia which includes steins, spoons, ribbons and medals, posters and other ephermia, and a variety of other items. The final section, 4, covers accessories where we find cartridges and loading tools, bullets, pulvers, bullet seaters, sundry hand tools, sights, dipter disks, gun cases and much more. This book was originally started by Jesse Thompson and after several trips to Germany and years of work he asked the Tom Rowe to complete the book. To accomplish the task, Tom enlisted the aid of coauthors and has had wonderful cooperation from collectors in Germany, Austria, Portugal, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as the United States. Three years accumulating information and photographs have just scratched the surface. The history, techniques and famous shooters of the time are extremely elusive. Furthermore, the German gunsmiths were all inventive and many had a better design: endless variations, new models, and improvements are the result and no book could ever hope to cover them all - there is still a lot to discover.
