Yes, It's that Dave Byrd. Funny story, He showed up at the Southern Rifle show at Norris about 11:00 on Saturday, and was starting to unload his truck, and also had some original Soddy'e, besides the books, two or three boxes. Guy's started showing up, and he started selling, and signing the book right their on his tail gate., bore, overall length At 1:00 he was still there, the show was coming to him, both interested in the book, and the Soddy's. The book is packed with greg info. The picks are a little weak, be each has a block with all the gun spec's including barrel length, Flint, or Perc,stock wood, whether its iron or brass mounted, rough date of build, overall length marking's, and other vitals. Lot's, and lot's of biographical, and historical data. If you call Dave you get an autographed copy mailed direct. there's two phone numbers 423-735-7869, and 423-895-2988. I'm really surprised no one has posted about this book yet. There's a lot of Beals, and Beansas well as Lawling's. Lot's of info. I wish I'd have posted sooner, Thought one of the "Guy's" would have mentioned it.
