Book Review: Dave George 'Carvings From The Veldt'
[BoerWarRifleCarvings] After seven years of research, corresponding with fellow collectors and collecting photos, and a LOT of work, the author has just completed his next pictorial history. This book will be another 345 page pictorial history that is packed with a further 338 more fascinating Boer War weapons that feature some form of 'stock art'. These include rifles, carbines and handguns - all with names, initials or decorations carved or engraved onto the stocks (such as the ZAR and OVS coat of arms). There are more amazing stories and service histories of Boers and soldiers. There is also a large variety of unit badges, along with swords, bayonets, bandoliers and ammunition. An updated list of M95 Mauser serial numbers is also featured, which illustrates just how many of these Boer rifles were named. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-08-07 |
