Don't waste your money!,

This review is from: Savage & Stevens Arms: Collector's History, 5th Edition (Paperback)
I ordered this book in hopes of getting a good detailed history of Savage Arms and the models they offered (production figures, dates of manufacture, etc.). This book is nothing more than a compilation of advertisements and excerpts from brochures and magazines with very little actual content, and offers next to nothing for information on models after the mid 50's. While the book does offer a plethera of info on the Model 99 and the Pocket Pistols, all other models get very little coverage.

This review is from: Savage & Stevens Arms: Collector's History, 5th Edition (Paperback)
This book has little, if any, original text. In my opinion, it is simply a compilation of old catalogs and old articles.

Savage & Stevens Arms: Collector's History, 5th Edition,
This review is from: Savage & Stevens Arms: Collector's History, 5th Edition (Paperback)
It's a nice book but I expected more than reprints of old catalogue pages. There was some history but a lot of repetition and no values or real information on how to distinguish one model from another. Also, I own several Stevens shotguns and there was no information on those at all.
