Very well written, very insightful into 1860s hammer gun development and lots of original material. David self-published this and is selling signed copies of the limited first edition. It is hard-back full-colour and nicely produced. I recommend it to anyone interested in the era, the type of gun and English gun making history - especially the period covering the 1860s and 1870s. www.vintageguns.co.uk

Like all of David Baker’s books this is well worth a read. The museum also produced some Horsley guns from the vaults for viewing. A private viewing of the many guns in the Museum can be arranged for those who are interested.
