About This Item
Union City, TN: Pioneer Press, 1988 Pioneer Press, Union City. 1988. Softcover/Trade Wraps. 2nd Edition. Book is tight, square, an unmarked except for former owner's name on FFFP. Book Condition: VG+; slight feathering to edges and center signature secure but out of line with others. No DJ. Pictorial wraps. Wraps are not bent or folder; spine has slight crease but is not split. 129 pp. The story of military belts is, like any other segment of martial accoutrements, largely uncollected and unfortunately often unrecorded. This book is a discussion of a narrow but important area of martial belts of the 1830s through the turn of the century and is only a brief cataloguing of the waist and cartridge belts and the closely-related, commonly-encountered accoutrements often seen in displays and for sale at arms shows. A book that is very presentable and well documented with photos.
