From my personal gun collector library, this is a signed and numbered (023) First edition. A plate pasted to the inside of the front endpaper says that "Fifty Four copies of this Author's Edition printing have been leather bound by hand. They are numbered in the Model Room tradition. This book is copy 023." There is some wear to the color of the 5 spine bands and to the corner colors. There are absolutely first rate photographs of these early guns, a few in color but most b/w, but superbly done and crystal clear. If you are a serious student of the 1911 this book belongs in your library. Shipping will cost more than the standard rate due to the size and value of this book. Dimensions and weight are approximate. Shipping via media mail unless other arrangements are made with me; this book will be boxed with care.

Fred Datig was one of the very first, if not the first Luger expert in the US to publish the results of his research. Numerous pictures and drawings accompany his telling of the Luger story. These come from my personal collection and as a collector I enjoy having both editions and hope you do as well. Dimensions and weight both approximate, and for one book. Shipping via Media Mail to lower 48 in US only.
