The book, "English Gunmakers of the Birmingham and Provincial Gun Trade of the 18&19 Century," by De Witt Bailey and Douglas A.Nie, in my opinion, contains the most complete and factual,research ever conducted on this subject. A"must",for those seriously interested in the 18&19 Century Birmingham and Provincial Gun Trade.
Be advised that the book is not a "glossy picture book" as per some recent publications on the Birmingham trade.The focus is on research and basic information on the structure of the trade and Gun Makers of the period.[127 pages in total, almost $1.00 per page!]
