Hardcover. Condizione: New. Dust Jacket Included. NEW 2021 COLOR EDITION. 256 pages. Over 600 photographs in color and black & white. The photographs of the guns and accessories are in color. Sharp images. Pictorial hardcover published without a dust jacket. VIS Radom is the first comprehensive collector's book detailing all variants of the VIS pistol. William York's analytical approach investigates the origins of the pistol and reveals new conclusions about what influenced the pistol's designers. Parts and assemblies are discussed and illustrated in detail. Along with the practical sections like takedown of the pistol, shooting and collecting the VIS, the author delves into its history and production. Working with collectors in the U.S. and in Poland, a wealth of new historical information is revealed. Illustrated for the first time are many period and wartime documents, period photographs, and technical drawings. All these materials greatly contribute to the work which also covers prototypes, model variations, manufacturing changes, as well as accessories like holsters, cleaning rods, shoulder-stocks, ammunition, conversion units, etc. A large section of the book is dedicated to the photography gallery, which gives an uncanny perspective on the entire wartime production. The wartime galleries illustrate every serial number letter code prefix while showing first hand the deterioration of quality and production simplifications instilled as the war progressed. Other sections include pistols of the Polish Underground, non-VIS pistols models, and even rifles made at Radom. Excellent.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. 412 pages. Pictorial hardcover published without a dust jacket. Large volume. Hundreds of photographs. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. FN Mauser Rifles: Arming Belgium and the World reflects the continued work of the author to document FN's historical and collectable firearms. Vanderlinden has spent more than 25 years collecting and researching FN history and products. He has authored several books and articles on FN firearms and FN factory history. The research for this book took more than seven years and includes the cooperation of FN, the ARS Mechanica Foundation, collectors, and museums. Attention was spent on addressing common misconceptions and detailing factory production processes and historical happenings. During research, Vanderlinden took into consideration the many FN departments and manufacturing lines as well as various historical events that influenced production. This multi-faceted approach has been essential in the discovery of more complex or forgotten facts. This book covers the classic line of FN military Mauser rifles and carbines including contracts for the Model 1889, the Spanish Mauser (1893), Model 1922, Model 1924, Model 1930, and variants. Training rifles such as the Model 1905 and postwar Model 1930 variants are also discussed among other single-shot sporting rifles. The line of FN Deluxe and Supreme sporting rifles, especially variants imported into the United States, are also covered. An excellent, really well researched and comprehensive new title.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. VIS Radom is a comprehensive collector's book aimed at detailing all variants of the VIS pistol. William York's analytical approach investigates the origins of the pistol and reveals some new conclusions about what influenced the pistol's designers. Aside from the practical sections, like takedown of the pistol, shooting and collecting the VIS, the author has delved into the history of the pistol and its production. Working with collectors in the U.S. and around the world, a wealth of new historical information has been revealed. Illustrations, period photographs and technical drawings include many period and wartime documents. All these materials greatly contribute to the work which also elaborates about prototypes, model variances, manufacturing changes, and accessories like holsters, cleaning rods, shoulder-stocks, ammunition, and conversion units. Parts and assemblies are discussed and illustrated in detail. A large section of the book is dedicated to the all-color photographic gallery, which gives an uncanny perspective on the entire production including prewar VIS model years as well as the entire wartime production. The wartime galleries illustrate every serial number letter code prefix while showing first hand the deterioration of quality and production simplifications instilled as the war progressed. Other sections include pistols of the underground and more. The new 2021 edition of VIS Radom is a revision of the original that was published a decade ago. The new edition features color photography throughout the book. Color coded banners facilitate locating subject matters like history, accessories, etc. The entire photo gallery has been updated to a color format.  Close attention was spent to reproduce prewar and wartime bluing and phosphate finishes accurately. This edition features corrections and is further enhanced with a heavier coated paper stock to enhance the feel and overall quality of the book. This book is printed and bound in the USA! 9 X 11 inches, hardcover with dust jacket, 256 pages.
