My first encounter with this fine work was about 30 years ago, I initially read it cover to cover and even now continuously refer to it as a reference work. From reading this work, Arcadi has given me the ability to instantly recognize fine US collector firearms left hidden and forgotten in dusty antique shops and junk stores. The highlight of my collecting career was identifying an all-original M1795 Springfield flint musket leaning in a corner behind some paintings with only a foot of the muzzle exposed. Arcadi described the ramrod, upper band, and muzzle so well that it had to be one of only three rare pieces -- US, French, or Comittee of Safety -- all based on the same pattern. Needless to say I got a bargain since the shop keeper didn't know what he had. I highly recommend this work to anyone interested in collecting US Military History. Also look for Gluckman's companion volume on US military pistols and revolvers."; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 493 pages .
