Very few have ever been published before.In addition, eight appendices give other tabulations of data, techniques, lists, including photographs of firing pin impressions and a translation of the most important part of a German article on class characteristics of shell markings, by Mezger, Hees, and Hasslacher.This storehouse of dependable and authoritative information is indispensable to police departments, firearms investigators, crime detection laboratories, lawyers, gun dealers and collectors, museums, and libraries.
