Hardcover with dust jacket, 10.5" x 13", 108 pages. This 1992 reprint edition was limited to 1,500 copies. Original edition published in 1965. Very good condition overall.

This is copied from the workbook compiled by Louis Daniel Nimschke, one of the nineteenth century’s most talented and prolific firearms engravers, as a record of his own work and other artists’ designs that inspired him. It contains hundreds of inked impressions ("pulls") taken directly from firearms he engraved, as well as design sketches, ornate postage stamps, documents, and inked impressions pulled from other objects Nimschke decorated, such as cufflinks, belt buckles, watches, and nameplates.

The book is well-organized and contains pulls taken from a wide range of manufacturers, including Colt, Winchester, Smith & Wesson, Remington, Marlin, New Haven Arms Co., Marston, Moore, Whitney, Spencer, and others.

An amazing reference work.  [jet][ph:L]
