Moranian Gunmaking in the American Revolution
« 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.

This, next to the Bunker Hill powder horn, was the big surprise of the sale!

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!

I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor.  Just floored!  I think I'm going to pop my extra copy on eBay to pay for everyone's Christmas gifts!!!

Makes you think about buying extra copies of volume 2 while they are available at list price ...

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
