- Notes
- This copy of the 1938 Midland Gun Company catalogue is fragile and has been scanned as sympathetically and gently as possible. The entire catalogue is worth a cover to cover read. The accessories from the time period can seem alien to us now. The catalogue covers anything you could possibly need. You do wonder how one company can produce so many different side by side guns. Workshop images from the period in the front are invaluable now as reference to how the company made guns. The map of Birmingham on the back page is great to see. It is entirely feasible that would travel to Birmingham on the train to go buy a gun, with their catalogue, and then need direction to the gun shops. The catalogue frequently references the newly introduced 1937 firearms act. Thie act brought in age restrictions for firearms with checks required at the point of sale. This catalogue was kindly loaned to Sporting Catalogues by The Old Gunroom.
