What Makes A US Test Eagle...?

[Pete Ebbink]

Ed,

This 2nd. book by C. Kenyon is more of a "coffee table" book. Lots of wonderful guns photographed really well, but not a lot of technical text to go along. The owners of the guns showcased are not mentioned or given photo-credit...which I enjoy knowing from other books. It is always nice to find/own a luger one day that might have been in a world-class collector's collection in the past...e.g. guns from John Morgan's collections that have now found new homes...

The forward mentions that this book is a precursor to a larger work that Mr. Kenyon has in the works. When I met him at Tulsa last year and asked him when his next book will come out, he said probably not until after he retires...

Simpson's has this book fro sale. It is item # 13 on this page link :

I have also heard that this new Kenyon book will have a chapter covering guns that can be described as being in the "that gun cannot possibly exist" category...should be an interesting book when it comes out.

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
