Is there a good reference book available for the model 1890, if so where and how much?

I can’t add anything to JWA’s suggestion other than patience and ebay checking….I found a set of both books for a very reasonable price not long ago, 225 I think for both, but that was as much luck as anything.

Definitely get these books at some point though, look no further. I was new to those guns 2 years ago and those books are INVALUABLE.

Jeremy is correct regarding Ebay and patience.  I paid $200.00 for both books via Ebay 5 years ago, but I had kept a search open for a year or so to get the pair for that price.

Nice, it will be indispensable. I think I”ve only read one thing that’s not in that books and it had to do with very late serial numbered, last-year examples or something iirc. Let us know what you think!
