4.0 out of 5 stars Very good guide; only lacking photos, November 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Book of Gun Values (Paperback)

This book covers an extensive array of firearms and prices for varying conditions. It is an excellent reference. All it needs is photos of the firearm described. There are small variances in many, particularly the Winchesters, that may make them difficult to identify without a photo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Gun Collectors, March 3, 2002

By	John Fraser (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blue Book of Gun Values (Blue Book of Gun Values, 22nd ed) (Paperback)

The Blue Book is the "bible" for those who deal in used firearms.
Whether buying or selling, this is the place to start when setting a price to buy, sell, or bargain with respect to a particular gun. It is comprehensive and user friendly for those who do not engage in this area very often, but it can be well worth the price in terms of over- or underpricing of firearms for sell or purchase. As an added bonus, this edition honors a true American hero on the cover and inside with an interview of Joe Foss, WWII ace and Medal of Honor recipient. I highly recommend it to all dealers, collectors, and other interested persons!

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and Concise. Rely on it before I Buy. Collector, February 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Book of Gun Values (19th ed) (Paperback)

When I need to know Manufacture dates and model differences and values I rely on this guide. Covers rare/common and hard to price American and European models. Has a cross Reference for makers and serial # made on dates. Shows the listing of model variations/dates/serial # runs in a series of gun. All one needs is the Gun in hand or complete list of features to determine Model/Type & Era. Each listing has the wording on the barrel of each model it covers to determine the type. No guide can be complete end of story. This gude takes you where you need to be to determine Type and value.
