"BAYONETS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR" GERMAN FRENCH BRITISH US WW1 REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The famous German chancellor Bismarck once stated: "The great questions of the day will not be settled by the mandates of majorities, but by blood and iron". Imperial German troops of WW1 were issued various bayonets for their Gewehr 98 Mauser rifles, just as French, British, and American soldiers were issued long bayonets for their small arms. Bayonets of the Great War have been of tremendous interest to collectors for decades, leading Claude Bera and Bernard Aubry to write a comprehensive reference book on the subject in 2013. This "BAYONETS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR" GERMAN FRENCH BRITISH US WW1 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 boasts elegantly illustrated hardcovers, and sports 80 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of Austro-Hungarian, Serbian, and Turkish bayonets, French Lebel and Berthier bayonets, Belgian, Canadian, and Russian bayonets, British hooked quillon and standard P-1907 SMLE Enfield bayonets, US M-1905 Springfield bayonets and M-1917 American Enfield bayonets, a stunning array of Imperial German sawback, "butcher", "quillback", and ersatz bayonets, and many other scarce pieces.
