The world had never seen an army like the German army of WW2; as Winston Churchill once said, “If it is to live in peace it must never see another.” Germany looked at sniping as one of the essential skills in the profession of war. The accuracy of the K-98 Mauser combined with the powerful telescopic sights developed by the superb German optical industry enabled pinpoint marksmanship that proved deadly from the rubble of Stalingrad to the hedgerows of Normandy. Sniper variations of the K-98 have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Richard D. Law to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 1996. This “BACKBONE OF THE WEHRMACHT VOLUME 2” GERMAN WW2 K-98 SNIPER RIFLE REFERENCE BOOK is in excellent, unread condition, with only some light overall storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in excellent shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it’s a First Edition, boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 218 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and black and white photographs of sniper variations of the German K98k Mauser rifle of WW2, with a strong emphasis on short and long side rails, turret, double claw, and single claw mounts, Zf 41 scopes and carrying cases, markings, dozens of examples and angles of scoped up K-98s, details on German sniper training, and much, much more. A beautiful example of a “BACKBONE OF THE WEHRMACHT VOLUME 2” GERMAN WW2 K-98 SNIPER RIFLE REFERENCE BOOK. Now celebrating over 20 years on eBay.
