There are many books upon these subjects, written by men better qualified in their respective fields. It is as the subtitle implies, a pictorial parade of Hand Arms .. wherein the chronological development of short arms down through the centuries is pictured in a simple, graphic and intersting manner. It is the type of book for which many collectors and laymen have expressed a desire. Long detailed descriptions have been omitted in lieu of featuring the illustrations large enough to tell their own story, a plan which should appeal to most lovers of arms." - from the Preface.
