In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

I have a 'potted' history written by John Walter from Guns Review 1983 (I think). I can send you a copy if you wish ... copied to a Word document.
Over the years John Atkins has written many articles for AirGunner if you can find them in back copies. At one point I thought Chris Thrale, of Webley rifles book fame, was planning to write a history of Diana rifles but I have not heard anything more; maybe I am mistaken.

I though rhere were vague whispers that Chris Thrale was well on the way to completing a new book on Webley pistols?
