another headstamp book group buy
Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2021 10:19 am
ok, seems that time of the year again... I wish they'd leave it a bit of time from one book to the next.
I've been asked if there were plans to do another group buy for this book, from the same company as Ian McCollum's Chassepot to FAMAS and the British bulpups one that is currently in hand, by Headstamp publishing. This is a group set up by Ian McCollum.

Pistols of the Warlords
Chinese Domestic Handguns, 1911 – 1949 is the new book. They are saying they can still do 6 books to a box, so with Shipping being $50, if we wanted 6 signature edition books, it would work out to around £100 a book before import duties and postage this side of the pond. If everyone only wanted the standard kickstarter edition, it would be about £80 a book, before tax and postage here. You have a choice of purple or grey book. There doesn't appear to be any patches this time around, which is disapointing
the last 2 have taken about a year to complete each. the last one is being held up with them missing some included items, so 2 books are posted, the others are still with me. It is not a quick process. You need to remember this when committing, as once you pay, theres nothing I can do to cancel your 'order', you would need to find someone to take your place and sort monies out between yourselves.
so, all that being said - who is interested?
this book is a slightly different style than the other 2, but it still looks to be a lovely book, especially with all the extras that have been unlocked.
anyway, who is in?
I would prefer payment by paypal friends and family really, as for me it's easier to track. I will need the money before ordering, as it quickly adds up, as the project is funded, they will collect the pledge in one week. I can't afford to wait for cheques or trying to get into a bank. I hope you all understand this.
