William Furnish assembled a world class research collection of double barrel shotguns.  Starting in 1980 he began publishing articles relating to his collecting interests.  This Manuscript Collection consists of copies of publications sent to the McCracken Research Library by the author in 1999, to accompany the transfer of his shotgun collection to the Cody Firearms Museum in 1998.  This is not a complete set of the author’s publications.  Subjects written about include: W.B. Leffingwell, Wesson shotguns, William H. Baker shotguns, Boyd & Tyler shotguns, Fox side-swing shotguns, Remington hammer double shotguns, L.C. Smith company, and American Arms shotguns.  Additions in October 2002 were six books from his library with his notes and letters inside.
