A Basic Manual of Military Small Arms 1945 (WWII All Country Manuals)Measures about 8 1/2" x 11", has glossy, color, soft covers and almost every page is illustrated. 351 pages.
A Basic Manual of Military Small Arms was first published in 1943 by the Military Service Publishing Company. In 1945, when this edition was printed, it was revised and enlarged to include new World War II weapons. This amazing manual covers in detail virtually all the hand fired weapons used during the war from 1800s vintage pistols through the latest recoiless rifles and bazookas. Comprehensive photographs, diagrams and directions are given about the statistics, ammunition, operation and stripping of every weapon. Any soldier could, after studying this manual, pick up any discarded gun in the field, strip it, clean it and fire it safely. So could any modern collector or enthusiast handle a variety of weapons and discern the subtle differences of model and make.
No collector should be without this classic manual. The original was printed on cheap wartime newsprint but this edition has been printed on heavy super-white paper after careful digital restoration. It is not a photocopy. We are not affiliated with any arms or gun manufacturer. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR THE CONTENTS LIST
Delivery: We print to order every two or three days and that way we can offer the entire 5500+ inventory at a reasonable price. Each item is printed, collated, bound, packaged and shipped as soon as we can but it takes a little time so please be patient.
Quality: Our mission is to preserve old firearms catalogs at a reasonable price before they are all gone, but our reprints are NOT forgeries of originals, they are exact copies of the originals but not necessarily the exact size or on the original paper or with the original binding.
This stinks! During the last 15 years we have had over 50,000 happy customers from all over the world, but we cannot please everyone all the time, nevertheless we can put things right, even if the post office destroys your package. Just let us know if you are disappointed.
