The British Shotgun: Volume Three – Ian Crudington & D J Baker

Volume Three completes the trilogy of the renowned British Shotgun series and is a tribute to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the British gun trade. This highly regarded series grew out of the vision of the authors to write a complete story of the evolution of the British shotgun. This important work includes many previously unrecorded designs and artefacts for example nowhere else in print is to be found the whole story of the single trigger; the over and under gun; the cheap single barrel or the classic side-by-side gun.  

Reviews: 

‘This fascinating book is relentless in its pursuit of gunmaking knowledge, and is sumptuously illustrated with high quality photographs throughout and excellent drawings, many of which were taken from the original patents. Although sometimes technical in its approach, anyone who has ever pondered just how their shotgun came to be will get enormous pleasure from this book. The success of the series is such that the publishers have re-issued the first two volumes of the book, and this piece sits as a fitting companion alongside them. For any enthusiast of British sporting guns, this collection is essential reading.’ 

‘Extensively illustrated and incredibly well researched, this is a book for anyone with an appreciation for British Guns.’
