This well written 340 page book delivers exactly what its title promises. It traces the 52 year history of the High Standard Company and its firearms. It begins with a pre-history of the people and the products of the Fiala and Hartford Arms companies and continues through the final chapter of the company which was officially dissolved in December 1984. This book is unique in its preservation of information based on first person interviews with the company’s designers and engineers by John Currie in his three decade quest for information. There are scores of photos of the people, their prototypes and rare and commercial firearms. Graphs and illustrations give dates of manufacture and numbers of firearms produced with charts listing every Model Number/ Number Produced/ Years Produced and Serial Number Range. Truly a "Collectors Guide" for High Standard derringers, pistols, revolvers, shotguns and rifles.
