The Gun Digest Book of Modern Gun Values: For Modern Arms Made from 1900 to Present (Paperback)

~ Ken Ramage (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Back by popular demand, this all-new expanded edition helps collectors identify the firearm, evaluate condition and determine value. Detailed specifications—and current values from specialized experts—are provided for domestic and imported handguns, rifles, shotguns and commemorative firearms. Heavily illustrated.

Firearms made since 1900 are far more numerous than those made before 1900. Many of these firearms are found in auctions, arms retailers and advertisements—and as ‘young’ family heirlooms. Much more affordable and plentiful than pre-1900 collector-grade arms, many of these post-1900 guns are increasingly viewed as collectible, valuable assets.

- Over 7,500 arms described and valued, in three grades of condition, according to the NRA’s “Modern” standards

- Expanded illustrations—over 3,000 photographs

- Illustrated inspection guide for handguns, rifles and shotguns

- Full-color condition evaluation section

- Reference—Collectors Library, Directory of Collectors Associations

4.0 out of 5 stars great!, December 3, 2002

By	Nunz (Manila) - See all my reviews

we are a firearms distributor in manila and have been on a lookout for a source book with as many guns with the corresponding details as possible. guess i found it right here in this book. it contains every bit you want to know about guns, except for the performance, where you wont obviously get in a book like this. anyway, its a great book overall, but it could have gotten five stars if it had more pages in color. most were in black and white. nevertheless, it has really helped our business a lot
