Hamster Posted August 23, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2016 Hello everybody, I would like to present a new book and I hope that it is not a problem that I'm the author. After a long time of research I have now finished my M3/M3A1-book. Maybe someone is interested even if the language is German only: U.S. M3 / M3A1 Submachine Gun "Grease Gun" The book gives an insight into the history of this extraordinary weapon, from its development and the trials at Aberdeen via the manufacturing process to its use in conflicts around the world. It also describes rare versions in different calibers (.30 M1, 9x19), patents, changes in manufacturing and construction drawings, accessories (pouches, tools, training devices, curved barrels, etc.), manuals & instructions, foreign made copies (China, Agentina, etc), silencers, markings, repair and replacements, training on the weapon and ammunition (ball, tracer, etc.). The majority of the illustrations is in color. - German language only (sorry no English edition planned) - 208 pages (bound with hardcover) - large size (7.9 x 12 inch / 21 x 30 cm) - 560 illustrations (mostly in color) Price inclusive shipping to USA, NZ, Australia and other Non-EU: $US 65.00 My email-address: GGBuch @ web.de (please delete the spaces) With best wishes from Germany Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartermaster Posted August 25, 2016 Share #4 Posted August 25, 2016 Too bad there's no English version planned. I would love to add it to my library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted September 3, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2016 I made a minor photo contribution to the book (Guide Lamp employee badge), and just purchased a copy. This book is very well done. While it is in German, its profuse illustration makes it a very good reference for anyone interested in the M3/M3A1. I would not let the German language printing discourage you from purchasing it, if you have a serious interest in the subject. My wife speaks German, so if I really need help, I don't have to go far. Google translator is also your friend... David Albert [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
