Holsters and Shoulder-Stocks of
the World is a visual reference guide to help identify the many holsters and
shoulder-stocks that were used through time and with various pistols.
This work covers a period from the 1890s to the modern 1960s.
Pistols are listed by make and
model. The user guide references the countries which used the holsters and
shoulder stocks so that
collectors can instantly refer to either a pistol model or country of use. Over
30 shoulder-stocks, and over 400 holsters and variants are illustrated, with
more than 1,000 photographs to assist with identification. By Anthony
Vanderlinden click

This interesting book gives a glimpse at some of the rarest
and private Colts held in private collections. The book is labeled as an
exhibition catalog, yet that term can be confusing. This on its own is a
great hardbound reference book. click

More than five years have passed since this
book project, a history of Fabrique Nationale (FN), begun. Many assumed that Ars Mechanica, The Utimate FN Book was to be an update to
Auguste Francotte and Claude Gaier’s work, FN 100 Years… However, any resemblance to previous FN
history books is at best superficial. Ars
Mechanica is by far the most detailed and comprehensive work on the subject.
