Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Three huge hard bound volumes, each measuring 8.75" x 11.25", in a pictorial slipcase. 1930 pages. Over 1900 illustrations. Sharp, detailed photographs that clearly show the markings on the guns. This massive new slipcased three-volume set is the most complete and authoritative account ever published of every facet of Parabellum history - Its antecedents; its derivation from the Borchardt C93; all models (prototype, German military , foreign contract and commercial); all manufacturers; the official production procedure; military procurement; markings (factory internal, proof, acceptance, serial numbers, and unit); police safeties and selective-fire conversions; manuals; holsters and holster/stocks; magazines and drums; maintenance accessories; sub-caliber conversions; cases and cartons; ammunition, and more. The basis for coverage of the military models is a new expanded English-language translation of the celebrated book Die Pistole 08 by the late Joachim Gortz. This is the first and only Luger study to come to grips with the vexing issue of fakery. This has been a particularly grievous problem for advanced Luger collectors in the past, because the items in question are often so rare as to be virtually impossible to compare with similar speciments of known genuinity in order to confirm their authenticity. This dire situation has been very considerably alleviated by the meticulous text and the nearly two thousand sharp, clear illustrations, mostly in full colour, which painstakingly depict and compare the key details of hundreds of genuine examples of exquisite rarity with those of known fakes. The exhaustive Index in Volume III directs the reader to over 50 specific entries under the heading "Fakery". Here is carte blanche to perhaps the most comprehensive private collection of German cartridge small arms ever assembled, including Parabellums and related artefacts and documents worth conservatively several millions of dollars. A truly fantastic and outstanding set of reference books for less than 20 cents per page. Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng. Codice articolo 4611
