Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. The Railway Magazine November 1928. Minor wear.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the cases decided by the Court of Referees in Parliament from the 1885 to 1889 parliamentary sessions.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Title: INVESTMENT LOT: 3 Rare Australian Militaria Unit Histories - SAS, Vietnam Artillery (1971), & 2/2 Commando Price: US$960. Body: An incredible, high-grade acquisition opportunity for serious militaria historians, investment collectors, and institutional archives. Up for sale is a curated trio of highly sought-after, out-of-print Australian unit histories detailing some of the nation's most elite elite forces and storied battle regiments. These titles are notoriously difficult to find on the open secondary market, with original print runs highly limited. Firm Pricing: To ensure a straightforward transaction, the price for this curated lot is strictly fixed at US$960. Because these scarce titles are highly collectible and out of print, offers below the asking price cannot be considered. Thank you for respecting that the price is firm.

Rickards (1971, Printcraft Press, Australia)The Significance: An absolute "holy grail" for Vietnam War and artillery collectors.

The back boards remain completely connected; the rear fold-out map has separated down its inner crease from the flyleaf, and there is minor lifting of the red sheeting where the spine joins the lower rear board (see photos).
