Lot 551 The Gun & Its Development by W W Greener - 9th Ed Book
The Gun & Its Development by W W Greener - 9th Ed Book
First published in Great Britain in 1881 and subsequently revised nine times
between then and 1910, The Gun and Its Development traces the fascinating history
of weaponry: the obscure, ancient origins of the slingshot and the bow, the invention
of the crossbow, possibly around 1000 AD; the introduction of gunpowder into
Europe in the fourteenth century; the development of sporting and military guns over
the centuries thereafter; and the rise of modern, mass-produced firearms in the
early twentieth century.
W. W. Greener (1834-1921) was a world-renowned expert on the history of guns,
and a pioneer in both the development of modern firearms--especially choke barrels
for shotguns--and in the metallurgy and machining processes used in their
manufacture. He lived in Newcastle, England.
Book is in good condition.
