US Army Ordnance 25 Vols Military Truck Weapon Tank

  A collector of militaria for 40 years,  these are mostly  from a lot of over 2000 books I purchased when the world renowned  Ballitics Research Laboratory (BRL) technical library was closed down and auctioned off.   I gave some of the volumes missing from the collection to the assistant curator at the then Famous Army Ordnance library in the mid 90s which has since also shut down.  I am approaching retirement age need to clean out and thin down.   25 volumes, about 48 linear inches of shelf space, and about 120 pounds total.      22 books,  volumes 33 to 53 from 1948 to 1969.  Then 3 earlier volumes covering 1925,  volume 17; 1926-27 and volume 23 covering 1942.     All are in great condition.   Stored in  a smoke and pet free home in a covered book case to protect from dust and UV rays.  Absolutely no stains, no odor.  There does not appear to be any missing pages or damage.  Fair shelf wear and tear present.     

Free shipping  via USPS media rate anywhere in continental US  in 8 boxes, with free tracking on http://www.usps.com/.
