The modern history of southern Africa saw some of the world’s most inventive gunmakers in action: today, following almost nine years of research, the Pretoria Arms and Ammunition collectors’ Association offers an outstanding essay to those collectors, historians and gun enthusiasts who want to discover more about the firearms industry of South Africa and Rhodesia.
One hundred and eighty local firearms are covered in this information packed, full-colour, photo-rich reference guide.
The full story of these firearms and of the people who designed them has never before been told.
This new firearms reference guide is the result of eight years of hard work tracing and interviewing key people, scanning original documents and taking original photographs.
This book comprehensively covers the technical data on Southern African hunting rifles, sporting arms, handguns and military firearms as well as telling the story of the companies which manufactured them, the designers who created them and the people who made them.
For those who have an interest in the Rhodesian War, there is a detailed chapter on the firearm industry in that country during the late 1970’s as well as information on Rhodesian firearms in other chapters.
