From the Back Cover
The History of Winchester Firearms is a captivating and wonderfully illustrated chronicle of one of the most famous and legendary names in history. Oliver Winchester, the founder of the company, was an astute businessman who hired the best designers and gunmakers and acquired companies and patents in order to create a full range of longarms. The beautifully crafted arms were produced in the hundreds of thousands during his lifetime. Later production was expanded and further evolved by his descendants and eventually the Olin industrial dynasty. Winchesters were the favorites of cowboys, lawmen, outlaws, and pioneers of the West, and are now highly sought-after - and often extremely valuable - collectibles throughout the world. The company's line of contemporary arms for sporting and military use continues to this day, under the aegis of Winchester licensee, U.S. Repeating Arms, Co.The History of Winchester Firearms describes in magnificent detail all the models, including the most popular longarm in the Old West, the phenomenally successful Winchester '73. Complete with more than 150 full-color photographs of the guns and of various associated artifacts, designers' drawings and fascinating photographs of the original users from both sides of the law. Winchester Firearms is a perfect addition to the library of wild West buffs, historians, and lovers of firearms. (83/4 X 12, 132 pages, color photos, b&w photos, chart)
