Field Equipment Of The Infantry 1914-1945, New

Description

By Robert Fisch, 1989, 262 pages fully illustrated with black and white photos of all manner of equipment and personal items used by soldier’s in a all the major armies, and many minor ones, in both world wars. Subjects covered include cartridge belt sets, knapsacks, haversacks, footwear, mess equipment, entrenching tools, gas masks, tents, etc. Some of the nations studied include the US, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France, Italy, Russia and many others.  A special section of 16 color plates shows both WWI and WWII infantrymen of the major powers in full battle dress.  Excellent detailed descriptions by the Curator of the West Point Museum make this now out of print book a cornerstone of any collector’s reference library.  You would think that a reference that came out in 1989 would no longer be relevant, but in spite of all of the works published since then, Mr. Fisch's book remains one of those 10 'core' references that everyone here at AGM keeps within arm's reach when doing research and descriptions.  When we get an odd piece of field gear, 'Fisch' is always step #1 for identification.  From there we may move on to other more detailed references, but this book has proven its value to us time and time again.  We sold out of these many moons ago, but lucky for us (and by extension, you) our supplier found a couple of orphan boxes hiding in his storage building!  Once these are gone - that's it, so get your copy while you can. New.
PLEASE READ OUR TERMS BEFORE BIDDING:
Missouri residents must add 4.75% sales tax.
We are glad to combine multiple purchases for savings on shipping.
If you purchase more than one item from us, please wait to pay until we send you an eBay invoice with the correct shipping amount.
We print the USPS postage through the eBay system, so your package will be shipped to you exactly as it appears in your eBay account. We will not ship to alternate addresses.
We have learned this the hard way, with a few bad apples asking to have items sent to a different address, claiming that they have moved, etc. then using PayPal and eBay to end up with both the item and the money.
If you really have moved recently, then you need to update your eBay and PayPal accounts.
Payment:
We ask successful bidders to remit payment within 10 days of auction end.
