Bit the bullet and paid the price to get Griffiths book that was in the Alm’s Auction. Your starting to see bits and pieces come onto the secondary market now. It is just a amazing work. So detailed and you have to wonder if it will ever be topped? I am constantly reminded how really small the Airgun collecting world really is. This was written just 10 years ago, but many prime collectors were all there willing to be a part of the effort. Alm’s collection is now disbursed. You have to wonder what will eventually become of Beeman’s collection? Great intentions often come into conflict with the heirs who have other things in mind.

The “collectors notes” on each pistol has so much insight. The amount of detail here is just insane, and just 300 copies.
