Description:
Stated first edition, complete number line. Black cover with silver print on the spine, encased in a bright dust jacket showing very little wear. Includes some historical information. Filled with illustrations in color or black and white. The pages are unmarked, clean and tight. Makes one wonder if the Japanese Museum has a display of British swords? This is a rather rare book.
