Thank you, DT Fletcher, for your interesting comments on collecting. It is always pleasing to have an American view and there are many Crosman collectors here who will be interested in your thoughts and, probably, your book. Certainly, this is serious collecting! There are those, here, with collections of over 100 rifles and pistols but, perhaps, few are as focused as you are.

As 45flint (also from USA I recall) reflected here, there are also people behind guns - the inventors, the manufacturers, etc - and that is where your focus on paper is especially interesting.
