Default "Burning Powder' 1st printing of 1921

Any copies of the 1st or especially the 2nd printing of "Burning Powder" 1921 ? I am writing a book and finding this is a scarce item. Not a bargain hunter so hoping to get lucky (I understand borrowing one is way to much to ask).

Check ebay, search books for "burning powder" and you should find a copy.

I was just asked about the availability of copies of the first and second editions of "BURNING POWDER". I have been collecting Smith & Wesson paper most of my adult life. I have seen only 1 copy of the first edition. I bought it. I have never seen a second edition. All I can say is Good Luck!

What he said.
The first and second are rare and hard to find.
Understandable considering;
1st ed, Jan 1921
2nd ed, Feb 1921
3rd ed, Apr 1921

For a few years I tried to get copies of each however never found 1st or 2nd. Managed to get the other 4.
