Militaria Deutsche Militärgewehre Band 2 Schusswaffen 88 und 91

The second volume of the series "German Military Rifles" focuses on the firearms 88 and 91 of the German Imperial Army. This comprehensive work offers a detailed, source-based analysis of the development and history of these significant weapons. The transition from black powder to nitrocellulose powder represents a crucial advancement in military armament that fundamentally changed combat conditions. The author, Dr. Dieter Storz, has conducted extensive studies to clarify the often unclear and sometimes inaccurate perceptions of the new, more powerful weapons and their initial problems. With approximately 750 color photos, contemporary black-and-white images, tables, and illustrations, the volume provides a visually appealing and informative read for those interested in military history and weapon technology. The high-quality linen cover with a dust jacket and the large format make the book a valuable collector's item.
