    A.L.A. Himmelwright book, Pistols& Revolvers

    My Dad had this book, guess he bought it in the 1930’s when he started collecting. Interesting read from 1904.Click image for larger version.  Name: ECE1FBB9-39A0-46EC-9C4C-DB5D4C35C794.jpg  Views: 20  Size: 23.5 KB  ID: 271935Click image for larger version.  Name: 16F985DA-5815-4EFC-BAED-27468A78D44D.jpg  Views: 21  Size: 24.3 KB  ID: 271936Click image for larger version.  Name: AC851AA7-B045-46AF-B3E3-6F49F74F0D04.jpg  Views: 25  Size: 55.9 KB  ID: 271937

    I love the boots on the chap firing the pistol on the cover.

    Himmelwright was a championship shooter who is credited with the design of a couple of bullet molds for the old Ideal Company. He created the 429-220 and the 358-302, spire-point wad cutters. The later 429-303 is a similar design, but more sharply pointed and gas check..
