The only difference between the first and second editions is Appendix V (pages 380 to 393) on Tony Gs Ansley H. Fox shotguns. Headrick has said the color is better in the First Edition. Keep in mind the info in McIntosh's book is what we knew in about 1989 or 90. They made none of the 8 pages of errata I sent Mike. In the early days 1904 and 1905 we have found a lot of factual information refuting what Mike attributed to "smoke & mirrors." Mike also included too much information on Baltimore Arms Co. which in reality is not part of the Fox story. It is part of the Frank A. Hollenbeck story.
