FEEDING THE GUN From the first single shot guns which were loaded slowly by several motions with various components, to the high rate of fire guns of today which feed and fire at a rate of thousands of rounds per minute, feed devices bringing the ammunition into proper position for firing were an essential aspect of design. Thousands of feed devices have been tried, most of which have fallen away into the oblivion of unexamined history. Charles V. Elder took on the task of documenting the most common of feed devices which were primarily undocumented and often unidentifiable. I first met Charles Elder at the Ohio Gun Collectors show at Columbus, Ohio in 1970. At that time I was a serious collector of ammunition clips using the nickname,“ a clip hound”. This was a play on the trade name of the well known collector’s cartridge dealer, Pete Bigler, who was known as “ the cartridge hound “. Pete had brought an extremely rare Krag rotary spool clip for me and Charles wanted to draw it for his records. He loved to draw clips. He had already been researching and drawing clips for decades and this is the results of his life's work. 415 stripper and charger clips for small arms drawn from various elevations to allow identification. Every country of the world known to have used clips is covered in detail. This is the only such encyclopedia of information in the world. NOTHING ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE ! THIS IS NOT A PRINTED BOOK. IT IS A CD WHICH CAN BE READ BY COMPUTER. START YOUR CLIP COLLECTION NOW AS THIS PUBLICATION WILL SET OFF CLIP COLLECTING IN A MAJOR WAY NOW THAT FOLKS CAN TELL WHAT THEY ARE. WELCOME TO THE CRITTENDEN SCHMITT ARCHIVES ON LINE MUSEUM AND DEACQUSITION SALE.

Why are we selling this archive and reference collection? After 150+ years of interest in ammunition there is no one else interested in the field in our family. My personal collecting has spanned 50 years and I am at an age when it is time to stop and pass on such activities to others.
