"Mil Surp" XMass Presents

[TFLeader]

Firearms never make it under the tree however got a couple of winners this year:

"Pistols of Germany" by Jan Still
The new "M1 Garand" by Bruce Canfield

They were on my wish list. However the family could not figure out why Still's tiny book cost twice as much as Canfield's big book.

Anyone else score big?

"Pistols of Germany" by Jan Still

I looked into buying this book a few years ago, saw the price tag and said "Eh, I guess I'll just stick to researching on the webs for info on obscure P.08's"

Nothing says Christmas Cheer like a good gun book.

Didn't really ask for it but and I was not that good all year either.

I got the gun value book, latest edition... I'd put that in the win column for me

I received this in 2001 for Christmas. It is a '44 SA Danish return, original barrel. It looks like it was refurbed before being sent to Denmark and sent back unused. I spent all day Christmas at my in-laws cleaning the cosmoline out of and off of it. Great day.
