British Cartridge Manufacturers is the final volume in C W Harding's comprehensive and authoritative trilogy and completes this unique and invaluable reference resource. Lavishly illustrated throughout with makers' headstamps, this extensively researched work contains detailed lists of further cartridge manufacturers and their products, including much previously unrecorded historical background information -- which in many instances would be lost for ever unless documented.

Over the last twenty years the author has encountered a growing number of cartridge collectors, particularly those interested in paper shotgun cartridges. As the demand for old cartridge specimens has grown, so has their value and numerous specimens are now over one hundred years old. Many of the former companies who once produced these collectors' items no longer exist and their related histories have been lost. Now, however, this information has been comprehensively documented and British Cartridge Manufacturers provides a consummate reference book written for collectors, recording data on further lesser-known cartridge manufacturers and loaders, of which today only a handful remain.
