"COMPLETE GUIDE TO US MILITARY COMBAT SHOTGUNS" WW1 WW2 VIETNAM REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The US Army adopted the Winchester Model 1897 shotgun in the early 20th century, and it served from WW1 all the way through to Vietnam. It was used by "doughboys", then GIs, and finally "grunts" to clear trenches and eliminate enemy machine gun nests. US military shotguns have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Bruce Canfield to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2007. This "COMPLETE GUIDE TO US MILITARY COMBAT SHOTGUNS" WW1 WW2 VIETNAM REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured).
