Description
A comprehensive lot of eight historical publications focused on firearms, shooting, and ammunition reloading, primarily dating from the 1960s and early 1970s. The core of the lot consists of seven editions of the highly regarded Gun Digest annual, edited by John T. Amber, a key figure in 20th-century firearms literature. Specific editions include the 1961 (45th Anniversary, $2.95), 1964 (18th Edition), 1969 (Twenty-Third Anniversary, $4.95), 1970 (24th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, $4.95), and the 1971 Silver Anniversary Deluxe Edition (25th, $6.95). Also included are the Gun Digest Treasury, a compilation featuring the best content from the first 20 years of the publication, and one undated red, white, and blue edition of Gun Digest. These softcover digests serve as crucial historical catalogs and reference guides, detailing contemporary rifles, shotguns, handguns, and accessories of the era. The eighth item is a large black ring binder titled Sierra Bullets Handgun Reloading Manual, featuring green and yellow cover graphics. This manual contains detailed reloading data and instructions pertinent to the period. The publications are predominantly glossy or thick paper softcovers.
Condition
Condition is used and consistent with publications approximately 50 to 60 years of age. All softcover digests exhibit general shelf wear, including corner bumping, edge fraying, and visible age-related discoloration or tanning to the paper, particularly along the spine and edges. The Sierra Bullets manual is housed in a heavy-duty ring binder which shows exterior wear but appears structurally sound. Content pages within the manuals and digests are presumed intact, though not individually inspected for marginalia or tears. The lot is sold as a collection of eight items.
