This is a rare hardcover copy of "Nordenfelt on Machine Guns" also titled "The Nordenfelt Machine Guns Described in Detail and Compared with Others Systems; Also Their Employment for Naval and Military Purposes. Illustrated with Fifty-Seven Full-Page Illustrations and Diagrams" by Thorsten Nordenfelt published in 1884 by Griffin & Co. It features 206 pages filled with information and diagrams. The maroon cover has "NORDENFELT" above an image of a sailor firing a Nordenfelt over "ON/MACHINE GUNS." all in golden ink, and the spine similarly has "NORDENFELT/ON/MACHINE GUNS" and "1884" in gold.

Very good with mild wear mainly on the cover and some light staining.
