From the dustjacket;
"Here is a book relating the authentic facts about the old Imperial German Army, its weapons, uniforms, insignia and accoutrements. Commencing in 1841, the year that the Prussian King, Frederick William IV, adopted Nikolaus V. Dreyse's Zundnadelgehr (needle gun), this book follows all the various types of weapons used in the years between then and 1918. The artillery section treats the varied types of Field Artillery weapons as used throughout World War I, 1914-1918, trench mortar artillery, and grenades with detailed information as to loads, ranges, etc. The uniform section deals with the diverse uniforms as worn by the various Contingents of the German Armies from 1856 through to the new Field Uniform adopted for use by all troops in 1915. Illustrated are insignia of grade, weapon proficiency, helmets and shakos, body armour, swords, bayonets and various items of accoutrements. On these pages will be found a wealth of little-known and hard to find facts, all gathered from a multitude of authentic sources, and for the first time compiled into one book."
Condition is very good, chipping to the top of the dustjacket, former owner's name in pen on front free endpaper (see images). It would make a great addition to your Imperial German library. Shipping will be $5.00 with insurance extra. I combine shipping on multiple items won. I accept Paypal. Payment is expected within 2 weeks of auction close.
