My first shipment arrived (10/11/22) - My initial impression in one word after 40 years of selling gun books --- "MAGNIFICENT" ! ! !  IMHO - on par with the very finest gun books EVER published --- "Pistole Parabellum" (Stevens), "Karabiner" (Karem & Steves), etc., etc. A monumental work - absolute "MUST HAVE" for all Browning Pistol collectors / historians. More "pics" coming.

Full Description (from the publisher)
FN Browning Pistols, Side-Arms that Shaped World History is the quintessential reference book on FN Browning pistols and  reflects the continued work of Anthony Vanderlinden on the topic.
​
Work started on the third edition of
FN Browning Pistols
in January 2020 and has taken 2.5 years to complete.  This is the fourth book on FN Browning Pistols, an evolution of research that started in 1996 (
Belgian Browning Pistols
released 2001 +
FN Browning Pistols
in 2009 and 2013).
This third edition is significantly different with major expansions in almost every chapter.  The entire book utilizes color in order to make it more user friendly.  This third edition has 840 pages in 2-volumes, compared to 368 pages in the second edition. Not only did the page count more than double, this edition has 2,790 color and period black and white photos.  Many historic photos have never been published in an English language book.
The third edition contains the following major expansions:
-        Expanded biographies of key individuals
-        New information on John Browning and FN
-        Expanded information on FN's dealer network and agents, including biographies on those agents
-        Expanded and detailed coverage of grip variants as well as manufacturing and marking details
-        Expanded information on pistol models, variants, and contracts
-        Expanded information on FN during World War II including occupation and resistance activities
-        More than 120 pages are dedicated to accessories
-        For the first time ever in print, reference guides will help collectors identify magazine production time frames
-        Identify and date presentation cases and shoulder-stocks
-        The holster section has vastly been expanded to include many rare holsters
-        Counterfeit warnings throughout the book, alerting collectors what has been reproduced
-        And much more
Collectors should be aware that older editions are now totally outdated and that those editions are obsolete. We opted to eliminate the small Browning Arms Company chapter as the subject merits more accuracy than what we had in the second edition.
