BRAND NEW!  Standard Catalog of Military Firearms, The Collector's Price & Reference Guide 1870 to Present by Ned Schwing (Fall, 2001).

Softcover, perfect-bound, 8-1/2 x 11, 352 pages with over 1,000 photos. From the author of the highly successful “Standard Catalog of Firearms” comes this complete illustrated catalog of every known military firearm available to the U.S. collector, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, and machine guns.    Coverage begins with the early cartridge models of the 1870s to the latest high-tech sniper rifles.    This volume offers more detail for the military firearms collector, shooter and history buff than any other general reference.  Gun collectors can figure out values (more or less, some of the valuations are out of whack because they didn't ask for my input) on any type of gun they own and also trace the history of individual guns while understanding their role in shaping history.    Mauser, Lee Enfield, Mosin-Nagant and other highly collectible military guns are quite extensively covered.    Guns are organized according to country of origin to help decipher similar models.     NOW IN STOCK!     $24.95
