Intended for owners and collectors, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in this British classic design, and the social history aspect of its use. This is an illustrated and completely thorough book on all ‘BSA’ air rifles between 1905 and 1939. The book is hand signed by the author and covers all models of the BSA rifle produced between 1905 and 1939.
