Book Description Cloth, Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. In 1879, Skertchly wrote what has become the definitive study of the manufacture of gunflints in England. He described and illustrated the tools of the trade and the techniques of manufacture. His illustrations incclude two views of 36 gunflints made in England, France or Germany, in their actual size. Although Skertchly was an excellent reporter of what he saw, he was not as effective as an historian. In order to put his historical material in perspective, Seymour de Lotbiniere, Britain's leading authority has added an introduction to this reprint of the original. 80pp illustrated in black and white. Size: 260x180mm. Seller Inventory # 19412s100
