Naval & Military Press: Death or Dishonour The World and Weapons of the Duellist


Naval & Military Press: Death or Dishonour The World and Weapons of the Duellist. A complete history of the fascinating sport of duelling.

Duelling has always been a subject that attracts the imagination. In this new study by Fred Wilkinson, the history of duelling is reviewed with some fascinating anecdotes researched from the Proceedings of the Old Bailey. 

Separate chapters include a discussion of the Seconds, the pistols (detailing locks, stock, barrels & cases). In addition a colour photograph section provides full-page photographs of nearly 40 guns.
