I am looking for Vol. 1 (I have vol. 2), however, I would purchase both if that is the only way I can obtain them. The details of the books are as follows:

Please email or send me a private message if you have book(s) to sell.

EUROPEAN SPORTING CARTRIDGES ISBN-0-939683-18-0, Volumes One and Two by W. B. (Brad) Dixon, an officer in the New Zealand Air Force. Brad’s first volume covers German and Austrian sporting center fire ammunition from 1870 to 1995. It illustrates and describes 550 case types. An appendix lists the G. Roth and Hirtenberger and DWM case type numbers as well as examples of head stamps by other makers. The second volume covers the same subject for Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Czechoslovakia, France and Belgium. The books are 9” x 12”, case bound in dark red cloth with gold stamping. Brad agreed to adding a number of patent drawings and descriptions of ammunition and magazine designs as well as photographs of a number of German-made double rifles and combination guns. Volume One was in print in 1997 and Volume Two followed in 2000. Out of print.

Doug, in Vol 2 did he included French shotgun shells for the 1870-1920 period? We've been discussing off and on chambering for early 20th century French shotguns. We've found a few guns chambered for 7.0 cm (70mm) and some as long as 7.5 (75) on up to 80mm. But the vast majority seem to be 6.5 (65). Still this book might be very useful in the research. Thanks.

Here is a site with Vol II advertised:

Argo44,

There are some French rounds but the book(V0l. 2) is devoted to rifle ammunition as is, I suspect, Vol.1.

Thanks for the leads.

Sadly the books on those links didn't lead to a purchase. I bought Vol. 2 on E-bay last week and the person who I purchased it from listed them separately.

Still, I will follow up any and every lead on the book(s) I am seeking.

DK
