Antique Pistols

More than 200 pistols, from highly-decorated German wheellocks to early Colt revolvers, are illustrated, described and evaluated in this collector's guide. The author has selected weapons typical of the broad range of items that the collector is likely to find on the open market – from a few rare and exquisitely decorated fine guns valued at thousands of pounds, to items more moderately priced, and therefore more accessible to the average collector.
