412 pages. Pictorial hardcover published without a dust jacket. Large volume. Hundreds of photographs. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. FN Mauser Rifles: Arming Belgium and the World reflects the continued work of the author to document FN's historical and collectable firearms. Vanderlinden has spent more than 25 years collecting and researching FN history and products. He has authored several books and articles on FN firearms and FN factory history. The research for this book took more than seven years and includes the cooperation of FN, the ARS Mechanica Foundation, collectors, and museums. Attention was spent on addressing common misconceptions and detailing factory production processes and historical happenings. During research, Vanderlinden took into consideration the many FN departments and manufacturing lines as well as various historical events that influenced production. This multi-faceted approach has been essential in the discovery of more complex or forgotten facts. This book covers the classic line of FN military Mauser rifles and carbines including contracts for the Model 1889, the Spanish Mauser (1893), Model 1922, Model 1924, Model 1930, and variants. Training rifles such as the Model 1905 and postwar Model 1930 variants are also discussed among other single-shot sporting rifles. The line of FN Deluxe and Supreme sporting rifles, especially variants imported into the United States, are also covered. An excellent, really well researched and comprehensive new title.
