About this title

Synopsis

Mauser military rifles offer collectors almost unlimited variations, and author Bob Ball continues to find rare and interesting specimens. The second edition of this popular book brings more than 100 new photos of these historic rifles and the wars in which they were carried.

Every detail is presented, from the length and weight of the rifle to the manufacturers markings. This book shows collectors precisely how to identify every model from 1871 to 1945 and provides production figures and the relative rarity of each model. Because Mauser rifles were produced under contract in so many different nations, the book is organized alphabetically by country and the year of production.

-Historic photos of the rifles in action.
-Detailed photos of markings and insignia.
-New photos of rare rifles.
