Arms of the World, 1911: The fabulous ALFA catalogue of arms and the outdoors 1972 From the introduction: ALFA 21 is the greatest catalogue of outdoor living, hunting equipment and small arms that has ever been published. It is the greatest in size (over 700 [pages) , greatest in content (everything the outdoorsman could possibly desire, from tents to target stands, camp stoves to cane swords, and guns from children's toys to contemporary military issue) , greatest in illustration (thousands of high quality wood-cuts and steel engravings) , and greatest in marketing concept (every entry appears in four languages). Whether taken as a researcher's reference or a social document, Adolf Frank's 1911 Catalogue is certainly the most complete inventory available of European and North American arms and outdoors equipment of its time.
