I just for the first time in my life pledged money to a Kickstarter project. I am still in shock about doing that, but this product is unique and looks to be an incredibly well-executed work of art.
Ian McCollum maintains the “Forgotten Weapons” website. He knows his weaponry. He and two other folks got together to publish a tome on the history of French weapons (1866-2016) in exhaustive detail. It looks like a beautiful addition to any reference shelf.
For those who have an interest in the history and design of weapons, this work will be a gold mine.
The kickstarter site is here. I recommend you take a peek — and no, I don’t know this Ian fellow personally and I am not shilling for him, honest!
It won’t ship until November, and your card won’t be charged until then. It’s a good Christmas present to yourself, expensive at $85 + $7 shipping (you can give him more if you like), but worth it.
