Good reference,
By Collector (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Standard Catalog Of Military Firearms: The Collector's Price and Reference Guide (Paperback)
I found this to be a good reference. I especially liked the way the firearms are sorted into chapter by county of origin. Of course considering the material, if you want more in-depth information on any particular piece you need to look elsewhere.

I was looking for a comprehensive guide specific to Military Firearms in order to identify and appraise weaponry. I found that unlike other price guides this one offered a higher degree of credibility due to it's titles and composition. I felt it was a great value for the price.

This review is from: Standard Catalog Of Military Firearms: The Collector's Price and Reference Guide (Paperback)
This book goes hand-in-hand with the Standard Catalog of Firearms: 2007. While not quite as complete as that book, Military Firearms is absolutely necessary for the military firearm collector or historian. In fact, Standard references this book when indexing any military gun, as they catalog only commercial versions. The only gripe I have is the organization of the two books. It is quite obvious they were meant to supplement one another, yet they use different methods to catalog the various firearms. Standard goes in alphabetical order by manufacturer name, while Military is by country of origin and sub-catogarized by manufacturer--this can be tough if one is looking for a specific manufacturer, but don't know the country of origin. For this reason, I had to deduct a star, however, I would highly recommend this book and its companion, the Standard Catalog of Firearms: 2007.
