Summary: Worldwide Webley Scored a Bullseye!
Review: My interest in gun books is primarily from the historical point of view. I found this book to be very well researched and have gained considerable knowledge about the development of machined and interchangeable gun parts, the growth of factories during the Industrial Revolution in England, and the importance of steel of varying qualities for gunmakers. The descriptions of the proofing tests to meet the requirements of the various branches of the Armed Forces and of the Police Forces were illuminating. Excellent photos and detailed diagrams enhanced the text. Mr Cuthbertson is to be congratulated on a very readable and fascinating book!.
