From the advent of Saving Private Ryan, WWII firearms have increased in popularity and in price. Would re-publishing Charles Clawson book on "Colt .45 Service Pistol" have a foot hold in the market place now? This book is hard to find and ultra expensive. $750.00 is a low price on that book now. What do you think?

    I bought mine new when they came out. Fifty bucks. Clawson said there would only be one edition printed.

    Get your friendly librarian to order one cheap, I did and she was happy to do it for me [:D] they have sources/means we don't.

    The librarian was my daughter,[:D]. Its been @ 6/7 yrs and think she paid @ $60, but definetly under a $100 and passed it on to me at her cost. I'll check and see if they're still available to the library system.

    It's still possible to get copies of the "little book", 146 pages, the Third Edition.

    Celse is talking about the "big book".

    I got the 3rd ed. "little book" for $25.00 on e-bay - incl shipping. I checked it against a larger copy, 2nd ed. and the contents were the same except for the type size.
    The asking price on several locations for the larger format copies is clearly a rip-off. Taking advantage of a situation.

    There isn't a second edition of the original publication.
