Robert Abels.  Classic Bowie Knives.  Illustrated.

Copyright 1967.  Published by Robert Abels, Inc.; New York, NY.  Illustrated.  Black and white.  96 pages plus a listing of Bowie and Sheffield knife makers listed in the book.  7⅜”x10¾”x⅝”

Hardcover with dust jacket.  The dust jacket is a sturdy paper with a small ¼” nick in the lower front edge and minor rubbing on the corners.  The hard cover is in like new condition.  The owner’s name is printed on the first page following the front cover along with his stamp embossed on the lower right edge of the same page.  That page also has references lightly penciled by the author.  I saw no other marking in the book but I cannot guarantee that this is the case.  The pages are printed on a heavy quality paper.  All are clean and intact.  A very nice looking volume.

Also enclosed in the book is a notice By Butterfield & Butterfied notifying the recipient of “Three major Arms Collections in One Day” with color photos.  This is a 1992 notice saved by the owner and is attached for the interested buyer.  

The photos will inform you of content better than my words.  Please view them for content description and sample pages.  

This book has been shelved in the owner’s personal library in a smoke free home.  The owner was a long time gun and cartridge collector.  Please view the pictures for condition and content and feel free to contact the seller with any questions before bidding on the book.  Reasonable offers will be considered.  Multiple purchases will receive a discounted shipping charge if shipped together.  Thank you for looking.
