Very few museums contain anything that can match them, much less surpass them.[/mpc_quote]
This five volume miniature books set features highly decorated arms from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Measuring 4 ¾- x 6-inches, and averaging 75 pages per volume, each miniature book features dramatic fold-outs, and illustrations on the reverse of the dust jackets.

In these hardcover volumes with gatefolds, the authors celebrate the art, craftsmanship, romance and performance of fine firearms, throughout the ages. Each set of text is illuminated with more than 70 crisp color photographs. The firearms are of the highest museum quality.
Each limited edition set is boxed in a crystal acrylic case.

Andrew L. –
Great little set of books. Theres some hard to find information and photos on some very rare antique firearms. Most I likely won’t ever see in real life.
