The Martini-Henry Note-Book -- by Malcolm Cobb |
Exclusively
from Mike Stegen - The only U.S. distributor, is the book coveted by all Martini collectors.
Roger Ingle of Magnum Magazine says:
"Malcolm Cobb's book is unique and an absolute must for anyone who has an interest in Victorian history or loves collecting and shooting old rifles. The Martini Henry's active life spanned an extraordinary period in world affairs, a period when the vast empire which it served was reaching it's zenith. It's reputation was legendary and its story romanticized through it's service in numerous colonial wars. Many fascinating anecdotes have come down over time and given it a fame that few military rifles can match. The author has skillfully woven them with many observations and many new facts, producing a readable and fascinating narrative. He introduces many characters of it's time, the designers, the critics and the soldiers, all of whom influenced, or were influenced by, the Martini Henry Rifle.
The Martini Henry Notebook contains 185 pages and is superbly illustrated. This is truly a publication by which others in the future will be judged."
Hardcover, Your Cost: $50.00 plus $6.00 shipping (Book rate.)

sporting rifles, the Brown bolt action rifle, the Southerner derringer,
and the scarce rimfire reloading set that is practically unknown to many
