Opis

The various Civil War era firearms produced under the patents of Edward Lindner encompass some of the rarest of American breech loading arms. These include muzzle loading rifles and carbines converted to his breech loader design as well as altered Hall Patent rifles and new made carbines. There has been a scarcity of correct information about their history and use. This book provides collectors and arms historians with a more complete and correct historical record of the manufacture and issue to combat troops of both new made carbines as well as conversions of obsolete rifles and carbines to Lindner's breech loading system. Using countries included not only the U.S. but also Argentina, Brazil and France. The book consists of 116 pages, 45 black & white illustrations and full color covers. ..".cast(s) far more light on Lindner's production than has ever been published before...this study will prove to be an indispensable reference and, therefore, it is highly recommended."
