5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" for serious Arms collectors, March 25, 2003

By	Peter Stines (Anahuac, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Robert Reilly has done it again, with another excellent work on United States primary and secondary flintlock firearms. From imported and contract pieces to "hammered together" guns, Reilly covers practically every known U.S. military fire-lock. There are plenty of excellent line drawings and text with each item. There are also a number of oddities, like blunderbuss "dags" and guns made for trade overseas. Museum curators, collectors and dealers should keep this handy since there is so much mis-information out there on the subject. My copy was recently stolen, but I have no qualms about replacing it, the book is that useful.

Just as good as Reilly's United States Military Small Arms 1816- 1865 this book on Flintlock arms provides the reader with a good soruce of information.

Well written and well illustrated.
