SynopsisTracing the history and development of gun-making in Birmingham, England--for many years a center of the world's firearms industry--this book covers innovations in design and manufacture of both military and sporting arms from 1660 through 1960. The city is perhaps best known for mass-producing some of the most battle-tested weapons in history, including the Brown Bess musket, the Webley revolver and the Lee-Enfield rifle. Yet Birmingham's gun-makers have carried on a centuries-long tradition of crafting high quality hand-made sporting guns., Tracing the history and development of gun-making in Birmingham, England - for many years a center of the world's firearms industry - this book covers innovations in design and manufacture of both military and sporting arms from 1660 through 1960.
