SIGNED "COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE M-1 GARAND & M-1 CARBINE" US WW2 REFERENCE BOOK

Description

By the end of WW2, the US military fielded the most advanced arsenal of small arms in history, with expertly designed pistols, rifles, carbines, SMGs, LMGs, anti-tank weapons, and flamethrowers in the hands of well trained soldiers. The M-1 Garand and M-1 Carbine specifically have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Bruce Canfield to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 1998, reprinted in an improved second edition in 2010. This SIGNED "COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE M-1 GARAND & M-1 CARBINE" US WW2 REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it's signed by the author via stick label on the title page, boasts elegantly illustrated hardcovers, and sports 283 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and black and white photographs of the M-1 Garand of WW2 and the post-war years, with a strong focus on components, such as operating rods, gas cylinder locks, screws, bolts, and butt plates, as well as accessories, such as slings, bayonets, cartridge belts, and scabbards, and the M-1 Carbine of WW2 and the post-war years, covering all of the different manufacturers and the variations between them, as well as the folding stock M-1A1 Carbine, the M-2 Carbine, the specially designed infrared Carbine sniper scope, and a plethora of other invaluable information.
