The Story of Merwin Hulbert & Co. Firearms

For innovation, distinctiveness of design, quality of materials and degree of finish, Merwin Hulbert & Co. firearms have few equals - a fact becoming increasingly apparent to modern day collectors of antique weapons.
The wide variety of MH&Co. models, the many variations and even unique features within model designations, make the collecting of Merwin, Hulbert and Company revolvers a rewarding job - albeit and often frustrating one.
In THE STORY OF MERWIN HULBERT & CO FIREARDMS it's all there. From the earliest days of Joseph Merwin and William Bray's 1853 partnership, through several Civil War time gun making enterprises, to the famous and long-lasting partnership between Merwin and the Hulbert brothers. It is an eminently readable look at a gun making genius and fast-talking promoter: at brilliant patents, early machine-age manufacturing, chancy foreign contracts and the irony of a mysterious early death.
Through boom and bust - THE STORY OF MERWIN HULBERT & CO FIREARMS makes fascinating, fast-paced and fact-filled reading for collectors, shooter, and history buffs alike.
