Buying Weapons

[regiment739]

Hi guys, I am going to start buying weapons, I served 23 years in the military and have always like MP's, MG's, rifles. Is there a good book out there that makes good reference to German WW2 weapons? Also are there good maker marked weapons or makers to avoid? Any info tips or good reading hints would be great if anyone has any

Weapons

Refer to the thread "German MG Book" which is a few threads behind this one, there are some good recommendations on that thread.

K98's
Books by Richard Law
Backbone of the Wehrmacht (some errors, but still good)

G/K 43's
Hitler's Garands by Darrin Weaver

P38's
Books by Warren Buxton (the P38 bible)

Lugers
Books by Jan Still
(Axis Pistols, Third Reich Lugers, Imperial Lugers)-expensive books! But the best!

US M1 Carbines
War Baby by Larry Ruth

Collector Grade Publications has a wide range of books that are weapons related, most well written...
