Collecting the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich Volume II by LTC. (RET.) Thomas M. Johnson-This book is long out of print. This is the first edition with the red dustcover. This book was published in 1976 and has 352 pages of text, along with illustrating color and black and white photos. This is the hard cover, with a dustcover that has seen better days. It is all in one piece but is faded on the front and back. No damage, just fading. This is a gently used book. It is very clean and was stored well. This book is personalized by the author, to a previous owner. Overall, a very good example of a hard-to-find book.
