English engraving
« on: March 15, 2015, 02:00:13 AM »
Hi folks,
I'm looking for any good books or references on British engraving between 1750 and 1820. I already have on orderGreat British Gunmakers by Neal&Back.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

   Julia auction catalogs. Look for fine antique firearms. Be sure to put fine in the search

Thanks Jerry for the links. Not a whole lot of engraving on some of the older gun circa 1750 or so. The Julia sight was great as was Bonham's Jim...Wish I were wealthy.
Thanks guys
