Very heavy set, figure 50 pounds. From Librarium of The Hague: The Visser collection of arms made in the 17th and 18th centuries in the Netherlands is comprehensive and world famous. Parts of it have been exhibited in the Kremlin in Moscow and at the Tower of London. Its strength lies in the first-rate quality of the pieces and the many rare and unique items. Apart from the technical and historical aspects, Mr. Visser has always been interested in the artistic value of the collection, for example the extraordinary carving, the spectacularly worked ivory gun stocks and intricate inlays. The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam has succeeded in acquiring approximately 300 outstanding items from the Visser collection of 17th-century arms. An extensive selection from this remarkable acquisition was on display in the museum in 2002. 7 physical books, a complete set except as noted.
