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

[10-x]

My Dad had this book, guess he bought it in the 1930’s when he started collecting. Interesting read from 1904.271935271936271937

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..
