"KUNSTSTOFFE" GERMAN WW2 BINOCULARS CASE PISTOL GRIPS RIFLE STOCK REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The world had never seen an army like the German army of WW2; as Winston Churchill once said, "If it is to live in peace it must never see another." The high tech German war machine made great use of the nation's burgeoning plastics industry to simplify and hasten ordnance and small arms production. Those aesthetically pleasing pieces of "Kunststoffe" (the German word for plastics) have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading W. Darrin Weaver to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2008. This "KUNSTSTOFFE" GERMAN WW2 BINOCULARS CASE PISTOL GRIPS RIFLE STOCK 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. Most interestingly, it boasts elegantly illustrated hardcovers, and sports 168 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and photographs (mostly color, though some black and white) of German WW2 plastic binoculars and cases, pistol grips, rifle stocks and handguards, compass bodies, canteen cups and caps, bayonet grips, tent pegs, artillery fuse containers, flare cartridge holders, flashlights, and butter dishes, thorough detail on wartime German maker's logos and codes, great information on the early plastics industry and its manufacturing processes, and a plethora of other invaluable information. A beautiful example of a "KUNSTSTOFFE" GERMAN WW2 BINOCULARS CASE PISTOL GRIPS RIFLE STOCK REFERENCE BOOK.
