BIBLIOGRAPHY

There are a number of excellent comprehensive books on military history for the period that this volume covers. Perhaps the best, at least in my opinion, are two outstanding studies by Edward Ezell. They are: Small Arms of the World, 12th edition, Stackpole Books, 1983, and Handguns of the World, Stackpole Books, 1981.

For early military revolvers, the two-volume work by Rolf H. Muller, Geschichte und Technik der Europaischen Militarrevolver, Journal-Verlag Schwend, 1982, is excellent.
