The revised and expanded second edition of the standard reference book, Mauser Military Rifle Markings, 2nd Edition, contains almost 30 new pages of additional illustrations and data on the world's most popular bolt-action military rifles. With its hundreds of illustrations and text entries, this book not only provides drawings of rifle markings but explains their meanings as well. Chapters include discussions and explanations of foreign alphabets, numerals, calendar systems, symbols, and coats of arms. The many factory, subcontractor, police, and military codes found on German military Mauser rifles are also given here in great detail.
