Description
 
2010 1st edition.  Pp281. Colour & b/w photographs & illustrations. Pictorial boards. Author  David Baker. This first volume of a planned two-volume set is a detailed examination of the work of Colonel G.V. Fosbery, especially his invention and development of the Paradox gun, produced commercially by Holland & Holland. The Paradox was designed for both shot and bullet. Essentially a smooth-bore, it was provided with an inch or two of rifling at the muzzle. With shot, the makers claimed performance comparable to the best cylinder bore shotguns ofthe time, and with bullets, the same accuracy as an Express rifle at 150 yards. The forthcoming second volume covers "other ball and shot guns made by other British and American makers. The making of the Paradox and other Holland & Holland sporting guns. .Technical aspects of the Paradox. Howthe Paradox was marketed and sold by Holland & Holland. .Notable customers and famous hunters. the evolution of the Holland & Holland and the impact of the Paradox on the company's fortunes. The Paradox today including the development of the re-introduced Paradox and the uses of the Paradox today." A thorough and interesting treatment of a little-known subject
