Title: Moranian Gunmaking in the American Revolution
Post by: Chris_B on October 31, 2019, 10:40:24 AM: Is anybody from ALR the happy fella who won that great book at Morphy´s auction yesterday?
My max was $450, but I was outbid at $500....
Would have been more than I ever paid for a single book anyhow... ;)
Still sad I did not get it.

I have seen & bought a few copies of this in antique stores, etc., over the years, and have sold them on eBay or Amazon for about $125, I think--if I find another, my price just went up!
