Is anyone aware of a book of primarily color photos of classic/vintage English shotguns?


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.

The one I am currently enamored with is Vintage Guns by Diggory Hadoke. It is about the guns you seem to admire and I think you will enjoy it

No color pictures, but I would Include Shotguns & Gunsmiths The Vintage Years or Sidelocks & Boxlocks The Classic British Shotguns both essentially the same book by Geoffrey Boothroyd.

"British Gun Engraving" (Safari Press, 2000) fits the bill. Great pics by David Grant and insightful, original text by Doug Tate.

Diggory's The British Boxlock Gun & Rifle is a beautiful book.
