(Posted this under African Big Game Hunting as well.) Anyone have a copy of this book in their library? It has some wonderful information in it that would be very helpful to me in researching and restoring a rifle I picked up recently. It was written by Edwin S. George in 1926.

Ismith,no I do not have a copy bu8t am familiar with the book.Try Amazon;I have found several that I would have not found otherwise.BTW,whats the rifle?Everyone would be interested to know,me at the head of the herd.Best,R.

Holland and Holland Mauser action sold to Hoffman Arms in 1924. A Hoffman Arms barrel and rear sights were sold on Ebay back in December as well, not to me unfortunately.

Still looking for a copy of this book! So far I've found a copy of "Safari Trail" by T. Murray Smith which had some good information for me. The Detroit adventurers where his first clients. I also found a reference to the "Waldron Expedition" in a Hoffman Arms Co. advertisement.

Still looking!

Have you tried to see if Safari Press has any leads? Long shot I know,but there you have it.You might also try DRG16 here on AR. He is selling beau coup of hunting related books;many 1st edition. Good luck,R.

That book is held by less than 20 libraries in the States.
