This book, by Torsten Lenk, is an early, definitive expose on the origin and development of the flintlock. The second image is a random page - all are equally beautifully illustrated in detailed (if black and white) photographs. In fact, some of the designs on the old guns pictured are worth study even if you aren't into old guns. If I were into tattoos, there are at least half a dozen motifs that I would adopt for personal ink. But I'm not, and remain ink free to this day.
