From the groundbreaking Colt Rifle to the iconic Winchester, each volume narrates pivotal moments that have influenced the course of nations.

Embark on a journey of discovery with African rifles, witness the armaments that defined both the Union and Confederacy, and uncover the captivating saga of the Colt Revolver.

Encased in opulent ribbed leather and embellished with exquisite gilt decorations. Every page, adorned with edges of 22 karat gold.

Complete with sumptuous satin endpapers and delicate silk placeholders, these books offer an immersive odyssey into the heart of firearms history.

Dunlap's "Gunsmithing" to Elmer Keith's "Keith's Rifles for Large Game," each volume faithfully replicates its original edition. Whether you seek enlightenment on rifle precision or the artistry of handgun shooting, this collection presents an unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge.

Though Palladium Press has shuttered its operations, this collector's treasure trove remains a lasting legacy, now a relic of the past. Seize the opportunity to possess a piece of history with 70 volumes of this extraordinary anthology kept in pristine, like-new condition.
