Back around 2015 the S&W Historical Foundation reproduced Douglas B. Wesson's scrapbook, which is currently in the possession of one of our members. A wonderful look back into the early to mid 20th century, this book includes a lot of original material from the development of the .357 Magnum.
Douglas B. Wesson was the grandson of Daniel Baird Wesson, who of course founded Smith & Wesson with Horace Smith in 1856. Douglas was a consummate outdoorsman, and it's easy to see how this influenced the development of many of S&W's product from this era.
We recently found a few boxes of these and are offering them for sale for $40 each (including shipping within the United States), on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Once these scrapbooks are gone, they'll be gone forever.
If you want to order a copy, you can use this page on the S&WHF website:
D. B. Wesson Scrapbook - Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation
Or, if you want to do it the old-fashioned way, you can mail a $40 check to:
S&WHF
PO Box 87182
Baton Rouge, LA

If you mail a check, include a quick note letting me know where to mail your book to.
