This video announces the publication of "History of Firearms" by Legacy Collectibles. The speaker, drawing on his experience as a collector and publisher, highlights the importance of resource books for understanding firearms history. He discusses the challenges of finding out-of-print books and the motivation behind republishing them. The video details two specific books: an English version of Dieter Marshall's work on Walther pistols and Peter Kuntz's "Technical Development of Firearms from 1200 to 1900," emphasizing their historical and technical value for collectors and enthusiasts.
This video reviews Dieter Marshall's 'Walther Pistols - Models 1 to PPX,' a comprehensive reference catalog for collectors. The book covers Walther pistols from the earliest Model 1 to current production, including variations, serial number data, and historical context. It also addresses licensed productions and copies, such as East German models and Manurhin's French production. While detailed and valuable for identifying specific firearm variations, the book is described as dry and best used for reference rather than continuous reading.
