P 38 Automatic Pistol: The First Fifty Years

Rating:
Summary: Four Stars, for lots of hidden gems!
Review: And because they are hidden, it takes the reader much more time and effort to find and correlate them than at first expected. On the other hand, the author is indeed thorough in his coverage and well-versed about the P-38 series. All in all, a very good reference book, although not in the same league as the Collector's Grade pubs or W.H.B. Smith's tomes (however dated these may be).

Rating:
Summary: Ideal for anyone wanting information on the P38
Review: Gene has very specific details which enanble the P38 collector to understand what gun they have and how to tell its' value!

Rating:
Summary: Good Buy
Review: It goes into enough detail for the P38 or P1 owner with some info on the P4 and other models. I expect from this type of book a list of dates of manufacture per serial number if they were indeed serial (post war manufacture was) which is why it's shy a star. Otherwise, a book, should you own the gun, you'll want in your collection.
