    FOR SALE
    Small Arms of the World 1969 9th edition by W.H.B Smith updated by Joseph E. Smith. The pages are in excellent shape with no tears, folds, or markings that I could see by flipping through the pages. The dustcover has a few small tears with the worst one being on the left side top. Very detailed book with pictures, operating instructions, exploded views and covers many different countries firearms. I have included a pic of a random page to show the quality and detail. After looking around on the net I see that there is a wide range of prices that this book sells for in this condition. I think that $20 is a fair price to ask for this book.

    No trades, FTF, Located in Baton Rouge/Gonzales area. Please send a PM if interested.

    Thanks,
    Scott W.

    Apologies for iPhone pics.

    I asked my SF buddy who was a weapons specialist and fired rounds in anger in VN if he was interested and he replied, "Thanks for the offer and for thinking of me, but I have it. Every good SF weapons NCO did."

    Sounds like an excellent book.

    It's a pretty awesome book. The exploded views on some of the German machine guns is astonishing. I guess there is a reason why someone on gunbroker.com wants $79.99 for his copy lol.

    Man I had an even older copy that I had acquired back in the early 1970's as a young shooter, and I did not lose it until Katrina's flood waters destroyed the first floor of my home.
    You are correct, an amazing book.
    Heck, I might contact you next time I am coming up toward Cabela's and buy it myself just for sentimental reasons...

    No problem. I can hold onto it longer for you. Actually it will give me more time to read and explore it before I get rid of it! LOL My employer is only a few minutes away from Cabelas and Im often in Gonzales.
