Which book ?

Derek, Also, I recently purchased a 1917 Artillery model, which according to some info out there on the web , many were destroyed after the war, or had shorter barrels installed, thus ruining the guns. I would have thought the gun was worth far more than the $1200 I paid, even if it was a low-grade shooter, based on some of the info circulating the world-wide-web.
I have since perceived that this find is somewhat common, and therefor may not be the prized possesion I would have thought before joining this forum.


Think again. Artillery pistols..even shooters are highly sought after. Many collectors don't even have a shooter. There are many accessories that go with them that other pistols don't have.
I agree with Ron's recommendation. Jan Still's Central Powers book is the one to get if you are on a budget. You will get GREAT value for your limited money.
Thor's recomendation is great too but a little advanced for a novice. Beautiful photo's make a person want to get it all but no real in depth information. As I recall it isn't cheap either? To tell you the truth..buy all the books you can find and afford. You won't regret any book purchase you make.
