So fun fact, Patreon doesn't like attachments bigger than 200MB.  It seems to be loading up just fine now.  Enjoy!

All right, for you patrons above the $5 level we will now be providing high resolution scans of these public domain documents once a month!  Thanks to it now being 2020, we've moved up into the 1924 range and so that's where we've started with this Sport Manual.


Please do understand these are historical documents and reflect the values of their times.  We did not write them!


Also do feel free to discuss these documents here with other patrons!

They defy description.

Thank you, for just not this, but the work you invest in the production efforts. jrj

i love that the C-96 ad says that its "an ideal weapon for hunting deer, bear, moose, mountain goat, and other game"

Wonder if anybody has a time machine so it would be possible to stock up on 41 Swiss rimfire?

I noticed that the shotgun offerings were relatively expensive compared to the rifles and handguns. Was this due to a greater need for craftmanship during the construction of the gun itself, or to the ornamental work that isn't often seen on factory rifles and pistols? Or is it simply due to the fact that the end of WWI everyone's gotten pretty good at churning out rifles and pistols?

John S Wren

Absolutely awesome! I'm genuinely surprised at how expensive some of the higher end firearms were - I'm used to drooling over old ads for super cheap surplus weapons.

Man, a Luger with the trommelmagazin for about $270 in 2020 money sounds pretty good to me. Also it’s amazing how detailed all the illustrations are.

That is very cool!

I'm not really sure honestly. It doesn't last though, the shotgun market would spiral into bottom budget wars

Christopher Pettirsch

ok these really ARE cool. And this takes me back to my very first experiences with guns. Reading Gun Digest and reading Catalogs !

My Savage 1899 kept looking over my shoulder and saying “Am in there? Did you see my picture? Oh oh look! See? I’m right there!”

I noticed the same and it got my interest up as well. I can understand some higher grade shotguns going for more but even the workaday ones were being offered at a premium. As I understand the shotgun was really the gun that won the west in terms of being the settlers and normal civilians do all firearm of choice. Many times if you did not hunt you did not eat. Small game was more abundant than big game and therefore lots of rabbits, birds, and squirrels made it into lots of pots. After WWII fewer people relied on wild game for sustenance and small game hunting (which a shotgun is ideal for) fell by the wayside in favor of big game for many new recreational hunters.
