Wasjington, D.C.: The U.S. Patent Office, 1874. Hardcover. Very Good +. N. Peters. Uncommon 1874 original edition of this accounting and illustrating of all "patents relating to breech-loading and magazine small arms granted in the United States from 1836 to 1873 inclusive". Tight and VG+ in its dark-brown cloth over light-brown bevelled boards. Bright, completely unflecked gilt-titling at the spine. Very light staining along the right edges of the first 3 pgs. (the title, copyright and preface pgs.), otherwise clean as could be internally, with no writing or markings to speak of. 780 photo-lithographed illustrations (patent drawings) by N. Peters thruout (formatted as 10 illustrations per page). The publisher's original "errata" slip bound-in at the rear. Tall quarto, new endsheets, 176 pgs. A nice piece of 19th century gun-manufacturing history.
