This book summarises the various Hämmerli pistols and the Hämmerli revolvers manufactured especially for the American market. They should help the collector to identify and categorise them. The known differences have been recorded in text and pictures, without, however, going into detail about the technical changes in the course of product maintenance. In this 2nd expanded edition, further interesting drawings and colour plates have been added for various pistols, showing further design details and accessories. Prototypes and test pistols from the former Hämmerli factory collection as well as from the collection of Roger Geissbühler and old b/w photos from the archive of F. Hediger are also included. In some cases, it was also possible to supplement or update the information on the production periods of individual weapons. Further interesting documents and pictures have been added to the "Contemporary documents" section.
