Pistol and Revolver Shooting by A.L.A. Himmelwrite, copyright 1908, 1923 and 1928; 482 pages. Includes interesting section on handloading ammunition with contemporary powders (most of which are long gone except for Bullseye and Black powder).

December 1945 issue of the American Rifleman had sections on the NRAs wartime accomplishments and the major firearms companies recapped their accomplishments and plans for peacetime operations. There was also a notice the The Director of Civilian Marksmanship ended wartime restrictions and sales of supplies and materials for target shooting were resumed as soon as possible. Firearms manufacturers were beginning to place ads for the resumption of manufacture for civilian sales.

When we moved a few years back I gave away my "Guns and Ammo", "Handloader" and "Rifle" magazines, most dating back to the late 1960s and stopped keeping "The American Rifleman". That still leaves a lot to dispose of...

I don't have any children or grandchildren, but I already have set up what is going to happy to all my gun magazines. My honorary nephew (I'm a friend of the family and addressed as "Uncle") is one of the premier firearms attorneys in PA, and after I pass on he will see a truck coming to his office loaded to the gills with my firearms library.
