Description
This is an extremely rare copy of the famous small bore book. It is the product of the marriage of significant documents saved from the destruction and aftermath of World War II by Herr Walther Schmid of Oberndorf, and the gathering of specimens, serial numbers, and research by numerous U.S. collectors and others from around the World. Jon Speed of Heilbronn, Germany has meticulously merged these sources to chronologically present a thorough history of some of the most magnificent .22 rifles ever produced. Original factory photographs, blueprints, sales brochures, records, and etc., are coupled with photographs of specimens and period photographs of the rifles in use. Comprehensive serial number information (the result of 50 years of data collection by numerous collectors and historians) is presented in detail. In addition to the presentation of the Mauser Oberndorf contribution to small bore rifle development, much other significant history relative to the period is included. The reasons for the evolution of demand for .22 training rifles within Germany is touched on, as well as the world markets of the era. The impact that Mauser had on the competitors for these markets before and during the Third Reich is also developed. The information is laid out in a format similar to the author's first reference, (Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles also from Collector Grade Publications Inc.) All serious collectors of German small bore rifles will not want to be without this book. True First Edition and First Printing from 1998, not the reprint from 2014 !
