Instead, it’s a catalogue to order gun advertisements from! Old firearms ad from this period are fascinating and give us an insight into who markets company's were aiming their products at.
There are dozens of pages of gorgeous illustrations and ads, including a pair of pages dedicated to the 1911-predecessor the Colt Model 1907 Military - with its optional combination stock/holster!
