1938 Mauser company history

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that I just got my hands on a very interesting piece of literature.

'Geschichte der Mauserwerke'

The book is a 229-page book, filled with photo's, published in 1938 by VDI Verlag in Berlin to celebrate the 125th birthday of the Mauser company.

The book is still in Germany, but photo's show it's in a pretty good state, apart from a bit of a battered cover, with a large number of photo's taken at the Mauser production facilities.

It's similar in style and appearance to another company history book I own. The DWM 50th anniversary book, also by VDI verlag and published in 1939.

Needless to say I'm very happy (although some $*$ wasp stung me twice while in the middle of the bid war).
