Firearms Collector Book from David Jackson

I am selling these two together as I think they are complimentary and that is why I have them both. The larger book shows a little more curling at the corners than the smaller. Both are perfectly fine for what they are, books to be read and used. No internal markings in either one. Dimensions and weight are approximations. I… Ler mais sobre este item

There are many period photos and records of how many pistols went here and there until the end. Weight and dimensions are approximate.… Ler mais sobre este item

Very good + book and jacket, no tears. This is a most interesting book for Luger fans as it shows how the Germans used and played with this pistol (and some others) during WWII. It seems to be a fairly scarce item. Weight and dimensions are approximate. Shipping via Media Mail, lower 48 US only.

Here I have both the original "How to load, operate, disassemble, assemble American-Germam-Italian-Japanese-Russian and Other Military Small Arms" in big bold letters on the front cover, and, an excellent copy of that book, reprinted. The reprint is not scarce particularly, but the original is. This is the grandaddy of the Guns of the World series edited by W.H.B. Smith and… Ler mais sobre este item

When first published, in 1940 (this copy is a Bonanza reprint) I am sure this was the definitive history of the Colt Revolver.

This is a 5 Volume set, actually I don't think a 6th volume was ever complied. The books were published at 3 to 4 year intervals, each standing alone as a work in itself; but it is nice to have all 5 in one place. These books have all been read and used. Volume 4 has a… Ler mais sobre este item
