Collector Bookstore Quick Notes: A highly readable account of handgun history from the 14th century till now. Profusely illustrated in color. Covers vintage, curious, disguised, combo pistols, miniatures, toys, handguns and the law, much more. Publishers Full Description: Films and television programs have made the public much more familiar with the handgun as it features in many dramas and thrillers, but unfortunately this exposure has led to many misconceptions about the uses and capabilities of such weapons. This book offers a more measured and realistic assessment of its virtues and faults. Tracing the history of the handgun from its appearance in the 14th century as a slow, clumsy inaccurate weapon up to the present day, when it can discharge twenty or more shots a second with great accuracy and power, Frederick Wilkinson studies the handgun's technical development, how it was used, the emergence of collectors, and explores associated topics such as holsters and ammunition. He looks at how the authorities have struggled to find a balance between those who wish to own a handgun and use it for sport and those who see any gun as a dangerous threat to the public that should be outlawed.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.

Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Collector Bookstore Notes: Early German target firearms, 1860-1940. Volume 3 covers pistols and the parlor (Zimmerstutzen) rifles. Accessories, such as sights and loading tools, medals, steins and related items are also covered. Publishers Full Description: This is the final book in our series on the German target arms; but the story is not all told. What is contained in these three books barely scratches the surface of an interesting and vast subject. The Germans took recreational shooting to a level not achieved in any other country. Most countries' shooting sports had their emphasis on training for preparation for war. The Germans, however, dedicated their efforts to making a series of arms that were good for one thing and one thing only and that was to accurately punch a hole in a target. No war, no killing; just a good time; and did they have a good time! We have all heard the expression "Wine, women and song," the German version would be "Beer, women and shooting." The arms covered in this volume are the pistols and the parlor (Zimmerstutzen) rifles. The Germans almost single-handedly created free pistols and the vast array of types makes an interesting collection. The Zimmerstutzens, which died out because of laws during the occupation after WWII, were the predecessors to today's air rifle shooting. Again, there is an endless variety of types and variations. The accessories, such as sights and loading tools as well as medals, steins and related items comprise the balance of this book.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.

We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Table of Contents: - Collector Bookstore Notes: This first volume covers the early history of German target shooting from the early middle ages to just before World War II, as well as rifles from matchlock to percussion. Publishers Full Description: A study of the various German target arms reveals a vast and little understood subject. The arms covered in this and two other proposed volumes are: Schutzen rifles, Vogelbuchsen (bird target rifles), Kleinkaliber (.22 target rifles), Wehrmannsgewehr (Militiaman's rifles). Scheibenpistolen (early free pistols) , and Ximmerstuzen (parlor rifles). Oddly no books in either Germany or the US have been written on this subject in over 80 years. This first volume will cover the early history of German target shooting from the early middle ages to just before World War II, as well as rifles from matchlock to percussion. Also covered are the Bundesschiessen (state or national shoots) and associated memorabilia. American shooters at the Bundesschiessen, Vogelbuchse and the Aydt, Badar, Bornmuller and Cuchel Schuetzen rifles.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Collector Bookstore Notes: Early German target firearms, 1860-1940. Volume 2 concludes the Scheibenbuchsen (Schuetzen Rifles). Also covered are the Kleinkaliber (.22 caliber match rifles) and Wehrmannbuchse (militiamans rifle). Publishers Full Description: This is the continuing story of a study of the German target arms. As before, we seem to have developed a lot of answers but while doing so have brought up a whole new series of questions that we are unable to answer. If we could only turn the clock back a hundred years and be able to talk to the gunsmith who made these guns we could have our questions answered! This volume will conclude the Scheibenbuchsen (Schuetzen Rifles). Many wonderful examples are shown from some of the best collections in the world. There are chapters on both the Kleinkaliber (.22 caliber match rifles) and Wehrmannbuchse (militiamans rifle). Information in these chapters will display many of erroneous facts about them. Also included is a directory of makers from the center of German gun manufacturing - Xella-Mehlis and Suhl. This was compiled by Jesse Thompson several years ago when several of the old gunsmiths and the retired proofmaster of the Zella-Wehlis Proof house were still alive. With the passing of those individuals that information would have been lost forever. Unfortunately this past year, in February 19, 2002, Jesse Thompson left the range forever - he will be missed. The research he did was pivotal in making these books possible.

Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. The only full-power, semiautomatic standard infantry rifle in existence during World War II, the M1 Garand remains the most popular high-powered target semiautomatic in the world - and arguably the most rugged and durable. This sequel to The Complete M1 Garand is an up-to-date guide to admiring, shooting and collecting this World War II legacy well into the 21st century. Part One examines its tactical, developmental and industrial history; takes a realistic look at the rifle's perceived "flaws"; and presents savvy advice on buying parts and parts kits for the M1 in today's marketplace. Plus, in response to overwhelming demand, this book incorporates information detailing the M1's World War II and postwar delivery chronology, to be used as a general guideline when restoring an M1. The second half of the book, dedicated to the enjoyment and maintenance of the M1, addresses some common questions about the rifle and offers detailed instruction on some expert procedures for maintaining and smoothing this wartime classic.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.

This carefully researched revised and updated edition of The AR-15/M16 Sourcebook offers fresh insight into why the AR-15/M16 rifle remains a favorite of soldiers, law enforcement officials, civilian shooters and self-defense experts. In it, Duncan Long takes another look at the history of the "black-rifle" from the bureaucratic blunders and military infighting that ruined its reliability during the Vietnam War to the modifications that transformed it into a reliable weapon. He also examines the many military and custom spin offs of the firearm, including an invaluable listing of its various models, supplemented by an impressive collection of photos and illustrations. In addition, he covers grenade launchers, SAW versions, and experimental weapons systems and even gives a detailed assessment of the OICW and other firearms now being tested as replacements for the U.S. military's M16 and M4 carbine. An entire section of the book is devoted to the newest accessories for the AR-15, with a hard look at which ones will enhance its capabilities--and which could get the shooter killed. In addition to offering advice on improving an AR-15 rifle, picking the best ammunition for it, and ensuring its reliability, Long presents simple techniques for creating a one-of-a-kind exotic weapon built around this rifle through the selection of parts and accessories now on the market (and where to get them). Finally, the book provides complete instructions on how to field-strip, detail strip, troubleshoot, and assemble an AR-15. Whether you want a weapon you can rely on to get you out of a tight spot or wish to build a super accurate target version of the AR-15, this is the most complete and up-to-date resource available on what many consider to be the best rifle ever made.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.

Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Collector Bookstore Notes: This book describes all the models of Vetterli and Schmidt-Rubin rifles and carbines. Markings and codes are referenced to specific models & serial numbers. Includes close ups of component parts and repair info. Publishers Description: In 1869, the Swiss government adopted the world's first successful magazine loading rifle for their army. In the latter half of the 19th Century, Prussia was the military power to be feared and the Swiss, living right next door, were determined to guarantee the integrity of their borders. The Vetterli rifle was a clever Swiss design that combined the spring-loaded magazine tube and cartridge elevator of the Winchester Model 1866 and the bolt action of the Dreyse needle-fire rifle. It provided the Swiss infantryman with eleven shots as fast as he could work the bolt. By the end of the 1880s, the Vetterli had been made obsolete by the march of technology. A new rifle design using a straight pull system was developed. The Model 1889 underwent major redesigns ending in the K-31, one of the finest, most accurate bolt action infantry rifles ever developed. The promise of the magazine loading rifle was fulfilled: the Swiss were able to avoid invasion and involvement in two world wars and one cold one. Swiss Magazine Loading Rifles, 1869 to 1958 by Joe Poyer is the newest book in the "For Collectors Only" series. It describes, on a part-by-part basis, all the models of both the Vetterli and Schmidt-Rubin rifles including infantry rifles, short (Stutzer) rifles, carbines and cadet models. All markings and codes are explained and tied to models and serial number ranges. Also included are exploded views, ammunition details, assemble/disassembly instructions, maintenance and trouble shooting.

OUR BOOK NOTES: Karl White's three volume series has consistently remained one our most popular resources in this field. Taken together, they represent one of the most broad and comprehensive approaches to this highly collectible (and profitable) collecting hobby. I heartily recommend Karl's 3 book set as a worthy addition to any collector or dealer's reference library. -- John Kincaid, Collector Bookstore Pre-1970 Tackle Volume 1 - Fishing Plugs (Vintage Lures) - Author's Introduction: The purpose of this book is to identify and evaluate plugs and plug boxes dated up to 1970. Plugs are identified as a bodied lure made from wood, metal, plastic or any counterpart. Prices can fluctuate up to 50%, according to the demand of antique tackle. One thing to remember is that the better items keep getting more valuable and the common items stay about the same. Lure Sets (items of one company's production) and Color Sets (all colors produced of one item), should be at least 25% more valuable. The values in this book are rated as to excellent condition, although the items pictured might not be.>(From the author's introduction to contents) Evaluation of Pre-1970 Tackle Volume 2 - Reels, Spoons, Spinners, Hooks & Harnesses - Author's Introduction: The purpose of this book is to identify and evaluate reels and metal lures dated up to 1970. Good reels usually have identification on them. Prices can fluctuate up to 50%, according to the demand of antique tackle. One thing to remember is that the better items keep getting more valuable and the common items stay about the same. Reel and lure sets (items of one company's production) and sets of all the individual reels produced of one type, should be at least 25% more valuable. The values in this book are rated as to excellent condition, although the items pictured might not be. Rarity, demand, condition and age determine value. Keep in mind that the higher the number of items found and in circulation, the lower the value is. A true collector obtains tackle for love of the hobby and not for the investment. The only common denominator that everyone understands is putting a dollar value on it. Good finds of antique fishing tackle are hard to come by and more people are collecting the 1940's, and later. In this book the lures are indexed alphabetically by manufacturer and by common name. The reels are indexed by manufacturer only. There are three indexes: Lure by Manufacturer Lure by Common Name Reels by Manufacturer Best of luck and good hunting, Karl T White -- From Introduction of Contents, page 4 Pre-1970 Fishing Tackle Antiques & Collectibles Vol. 3 - Flyrod Baits, Rods & Misc - Author's Introduction: These three volumes of "Fishing Tackle Antiques and Collectables" contain my entire collection, with the exception of duplicates. With the donation of my collection, this will be the conclusion of most of my involvement in collecting, having been in it for 55 years. I am consulting now only. The reason for all the unknowns included in the three volumes are so that hopefully, the next generation of collectors will be able to identify them. Fishing tackle is the only collectable which has artistic, mechanical and craft involved. . with the conclusion of these three volumes and the donation I bid you farewell as I am now retired from collecting.

Collector Bookstore Notes: This book covers forgotten rod makers that span the range of American fishing tackle history, from the beginnings to the 1960s. Publishers Description: We know a good deal about many of the major American rod makers, ranging from Hiram Leonard to Eustis W. Edwards to Lyle Dickerson. But high end fly rod makers like these are just the tip (and a glorious one at that) of the iceberg. From the earliest days of American rod making in the 1830s to the immediate post-World War II era, hundreds if not thousands of men made their living in part or in whole as rod makers. We have documented histories of less than 10% of them. This book is an effort to resurrect the stories of rod makers that span the range of American fishing tackle history, from the beginnings to the 1960s. Meticulously researched and documented, Forgotten Fly Rods brings to light a number of heretofore unknown rodsmiths including Morgan L. Marshall, Clarence Huntley, Nathan Harrington, Amasa Ward, George Miner, and Andrew Kull. It offers, for the first time, detailed histories of a number of rodsmiths whose stories have been misrepresented or incomplete, such as Will H. Cruttenden, George Morgan, Alonzo Fowler, and Roy F.B. Shaver. And it offers new interpretations and information on known rod makers, including Benjamin Welch, John Conroy, and Thaddeus Norris. The story of the American fishing rod is much more than just split bamboo, and it goes far beyond just high end fly rods. The stories of these overlooked and underappreciated American rod makers will help us to better understand and appreciate the origins and development of the American fishing rod, and as such should prove of interest to fishing historians, rod collectors, and any anglers inquisitive about how the rod in their hands came into being. 135 B&W Images + 332 Endnotes + 13 rodmakers = 1 great story of forgotten rods and their makers.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.
