This book exceeded my expectations! I thought that it would have a few drawings maybe photos of reproduction flintlock trade guns but no it was so much more! Anybody that is into 17th or 18th century trade guns history of guns & who sold what in this era will be well pleased! I really liked the history of flint productions between the french and english style flints. Well worth the price and then some. :)
