Well illustrated. There are detailed descriptions of the guns. Universally applauded as the Mauser pistol book, System Mauser is now well into its second printing. Mauser's Model 1896 was the first truly successful self-loading pistol, with a service record that extends from the Boer War through World War II. Arms collectors have long noted the many variations to be found among Model 1896 pistols, but until System Mauser no extensive effort had been made to organize these variations into a comprehensive evolutionary pattern.
