This is Michael McIntosh's classic book on fine shotguns, in a
fully revised and expanded form-covering gunmakers who have become
prominent since the first edition was published in 1989 and
McIntosh's continued research into the nature of the shotgun and
the people who make them. McIntosh divides hisThis nearly
encyclopedic gathering of gun knowledge deals with the world of
shotguns into two distinct sections. The first is devoted to the
best shotguns ever made in America, "American Best," looks at each
of the finest guns made in the United States during the Golden Age
of gunmaking. Names from the past such as Parker, A. H. Fox, L. C.
Smith, Ithaca, Lefever, and others are treated in greater detail,
including newly manufactured American classics that bear those same
names.once were more than simply names on old guns; they were
people and companies, inventively vying for a share of a growing
gun market. Their efforts created guns of lasting value and fame.
In the second section, McIntosh explores the revivified world of
gunmaking abroad-in England, Spain, Italy, and elsewhere, places
where traditional craftsmanship and modern technology have combined
to make the turn of the twenty-first century the most vibrant and
exciting period in fine gunmaking in nearly a hundred years."The
World's Best," Michael McIntosh explores the world of fine guns as
it exists today, country by country, commenting on guns whose
intrinsic merit qualifies them as "best" guns. He looks at the
gunmaking centers of England, Italy, France, Belgium, and Spain and
talks of the names that warm the hearts of those who appreciate the
workmanship, dynamics, and "feel" of a fine gun-names such as
Purdey, Holland & Holland, Granger, Fabbri, Piotti,
Arrizabalaga, and others. McIntosh offers practical advice on
buying, shooting, and collecting older guns-what to look for and
what to look out for, all based on long experience. McIntosh also
offers advice on buying and shooting older guns-what to look for
and what to look out for. As interest in fine double guns reaches a
new high in this country, Best Guns serves as both a guide for the
uninitiated and a standard reference for the experienced collector
and shooter, all written with the precision and seamless grace that
is Michael McIntosh's trademark style..
