Artistry in Single Action (Limited Edition/ leather and cloth with slipcase)

The saga of the Grizzly, the first single-action revolver produced in Texas after the Civil War period, & Edmond de la Garrigue, the eccentric near-genius who created it. De la Garrigue designed & made what many authorities consider some of the most beautiful & innovative six guns ever produced. Based on extensive research, the book also contains a wealth of information on earlier six guns, including the famous Colts, & the role they played in the turbulent history of pioneer days in Texas. A significant foreword by historian J. Evetts Haley points out that the six gun is interwoven with Texas tradition that endures to the present day. Honored in the Carl Hertzog national competition for book design, ARTISTRY IN SINGLE ACTION is a collector's item for bibliophiles as well as for firearms fanciers & history buffs. The 8 3/4 x 11 inch volume is printed on fine acid-free paper & quarter bound by hand in Moroccan leather over cloth boards. The cloth slipcase is rounded to match the spine of the book. 128 pgs, illustrated (81 plates) by photographs of the guns, original working drawings & other records of the guns' manufacture & trials.
