Signé
Second edition. Original cloth, excellent condition. [6], VIII,133, [6] pp., photographic plates. Signed by author on verso of the foreward to the second edition. This is a reprinting of the 1924 first edition, with no change to the title page. The only indications that this is not that edition are the different collation (133 pp. v. 124) and the presence of a leaf with a forward by Henry M. Stewart, following the title page, which identifies this as the second edition, with an acknowledgement of George N. Hyatt who is said to have started work on this project in 1938. There are far fewer listings for this issue than the first edition, but it is not clear if that is a function of scarcity or of cataloguers not going beyond the title page to date this book. Howes D342 puts the date of a reprint as 1946. Riling 1959: "A standard reference work on the subject, not surpassed to date.".

Edition originale
First Edition. Quarto. 124 pages of text, 126 pages of glossy Black and White images of the rifles as well as tools used in their production, early advertisements, etc. The extensive photographs of the variations of the Kentucky rifle are the reason this work has never been superseded. Laid in is a letter dated September 20, 1928 from the National Rifle Association to William C. Schwab of New York City with a desire to discuss together again the fine points of the Kentucky Rifle. Only 550 were bound of this first edition. Bound in blue cloth pictorially stamped and lettered in gilt, spine plain, light rubbing front cover, two bumped corners, spine evenly faded, scattered foxing to title page only. Typed letter laid in from the National Rifle Association of America. A very good copy. [Howes D-342].
