SIGNED "COMPLETE GUIDE TO US MILITARY COMBAT SHOTGUNS" WW1 WW2 REFERENCE BOOK

Description

LAST ONE!
The US Army adopted the Winchester Model 1897 shotgun in the early 20th century, and it served from WW1 all the way through to Vietnam. It was used by "doughboys", then GIs, and finally "grunts" to clear trenches and eliminate enemy machine gun nests. US military shotguns have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Bruce Canfield to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2007. This SIGNED "COMPLETE GUIDE TO US MILITARY COMBAT SHOTGUNS" WW1 WW2 REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage.
