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… Read more about this 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.
