Great Western Gun Works
« on: July 26, 2025, 10:46:38 PM »
I put together a new web page about J. H. Johnston’s Great Western Gun Works of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, including a news article about their building catching fire and exploding. Here’s the link: https://korns.org/gunsmiths/GWGW-7252025/Great-Western-Gun-Works-7252025.html

10 0LD GUN Catalogs compiled by L.D. Satterlee contains the complete 50 page wholesale catalog of the Great Western Gun Works.  It's a wealth of info about the company and their products.  I.ve been able to identify several guns for members over the years from it, including the model and a picture.

I can lend it to you if you so desire.

T*O*F, Thanks for the reminder about that book. I've been meaning to buy it, and I just did after reading your post.

One of the old Gun Digests also has a reprinted extract of the Great Western Gun Works catalog.
