THE MAUSER ARCHIVE

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 546 pages. Large volume. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Almost 900 illustrations. Very detailed and comprehensive. Hundreds of original previously unpublished company documents have been discovered, most of which have not been seen since the end of Worl War II, which give an unprecedented insight into the workings of the Mauser firm almost from its inception right through both World Wars and the post-WWII French occupation period. Among many other things these documents include actual production and sales data for all type of Mauser products from 1884-1946, inventory lists covering completed arms, half-completed arms, components and tooling inventory from 1900 to 1940, and the complete factory inventory of cartridges and components for 1928; cost and sale price calculations showing the actual cost of production of several arms types; order/offer book entries for the period 1928-1936 describing hundreds of different sporting and military variations; and, sales and running account ledgers covering the period 1887-1927. In addition to all this new data some 300 fragile glass plate negatives have survived which depict a variety of hitherto unknown Mauser sporting models in their original configurations. There are also over 80 full color views of high-grade Mauser sporters. An outstanding study. Both the Book and Dust Jacket are in Fine condition with only light use. Artikel-Nr. RW019
