Gun Tools: Their History And Identification, Volume I, by James Shaffer, Lee Rutledge, and S. Dorsey. 377 Pages. Softbound. Anyone who has ever attended a "whatsit session" at a tool collectors meeting, where attempts are made to collectively identify tools of indeterminate function, will find this recently published volume especially helpful. Chock full of photographs and documentation on every conceivable tool ever provided with, or used primarily for, the maintenance of firearms this book will stand as the definitive work on this subject. Beginning with a survey of the various types of gun tools, the book then proceeds to review, in great detail, many examples of each of those types. Excellent black & white photographs, line drawings and early photographs illustrate this comprehensive book. Of special interest to the tool collector with an interest in firearms, but also to the general collector, particularly the section on combination tools for guns, this book will fill a void in any collectors library. $30.00 (BK-0167)
