TEXTBOOK OF SMALL ARMS 1929

Facsimile reprint of the scarce British War Office publication. It describes British Empire service small arms - rifles, bayonets, swords, hand grenades, machine guns, submachine guns, pistols, ammunition, ballistics and factory production. The official 1929 Textbook relates their contemporary European and American equivalents in detail as well, along with comparative tables and charts. The chapters on ammunition, manufacture and ballistics are very comprehensive, making the "Textbook of Small Arms 1929" a true asset to any collector or scholar of arms and ammunition of the period.
