While Tate's book has an excellent short history of William Powell and how that firm prospered after WWII by which time many Birmingham makers had gone out of business and still more would do so before the end of the 20th century, he doesn't have a list of the craftsmen who worked for Powell. But for those who own and collect Powells, it would be worth the price of Tate's book just to have the information it contains on Powell as well as the history of the Birmingham Gun Trade.
