Blades and Barrels or "cut 'n shoot"

BLADES AND BARRELS
six centuries of combination weapons
by H. GORDON FROST

This is the complete reference on the history of combination weapons over the past six centuries. The inside jacket reads "Blades and Barrels is the first full scale study ever written about man's attempt to combine an edged weapon with a firearm. Tracing the development of combination weapons from the hand cannon through the center fire ignition systems, this book fills a long recognized gap in firearms literature."
The book covers knife pistols, cutlass pistols, mace pistols, axe pistols and war hammer pistols. In depth studies of companies such as Unwin & Rodgers, Harrington & Richardson, Frank Wesson, Colt, Boden and Dolne. Contains 400 photographs from private and museum collections, the author spent over 20 years researching and compiling this information. Copyright 1972. The book is out of print, a very rare and important reference.

If somebody likes to sell one book,  I'm always interested.
