Nouvelle balistique P. Giffard : à gaz liquéfié / Cie des forges et aciéries de la marine et des chemins de fer

1892 · St. Etienne : Forges et aciéries de la marine et des chemins de fer · 5 pictures

A French trade catalogue of 1892 published in Saint-Étienne by the Forges et aciéries de la marine et des chemins de fer, presenting P. Giffard's liquefied-gas firearms to buyers in the arms and engineering trade. The pictures are precise line engravings of pistols, carbines and a detachable cartridge tube shown in side elevation, with one ornate chromolithographed prize label in green and gold showing a centaur hunter with a rifle, a useful reference for vintage technical drawing and heraldic border ornament.
