Now for the ephemera.



Suggestions?

If you have any interest in military handguns you need Charlie Pate's book on the Secondary Handguns of WWII. Also, if you can find a copy I would suggest Henwood's book, America's Right Arm.

D. B. Wesson’s Scrap Book, available from the S&W Historical Foundation.

You have a long way to go before your library is complete. Have fun.

Here is one not often seen. Published in 1915 with a great bunch of old photos:

Maybe it's on the shelf and I can't see it but another excellent little book is, My Life Journey with Smith & Wesson by Dwayne W. Charron.

I have a copy of AMERICAS RIGHT ARM by John Henwood, if anybody is interested in buying it. My email is [email protected]

As you have aleady read, there seems to be no end to books about S&W. Standards like Roper - McHenry, Parsons, Neal & Jinks can be supplimented by over a dozen others. There is another early 1953 book titled Smith & Wesson The Story of the Revolver by Martin Rywell. D.B wrote another book, Burning Powder in 1932, and the list keeps going. Let us not forget Bill Cross & Roy Jinks fine book the Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum. Also, Artistry in Arms by Roy in 1991 and his book 125 Years with Smith & Wesson, 1977.

I thought I was done several times but found more S&W books I needed. I have been trying to find an affordable copy of America's Right Arm by John Henwood for some time.

There are currently 5 copies of the Henwood book available, but they're running from $250 to $300, and he's massively quoted (with permission) in Mullin's K-frame book.

But now I have other fresh meat to chase down.

Thanks, all!
