Ian Skennerton's "British Commonwealth Bayonets and Fighting Knives"
Revised, Expanded and Updated edition by Ian Skennerton and Brian Labudda.  Originally published in 1986.

"'British & Commonwealth Bayonets' was published decades ago and became a standard reference for bayonet collectors.  By 2012 it was out of print, unfortunately for any new bayonet enthusiasts.  It is worthy of mention that few new bayonet models have been added to the catalogue in the relevant countries, largely due to standardization by NATO." 

Only 8 copies available in our store. Was a special print run and Ian has advised no further copies will be available once sold out.
Price $150 plus postage

WEBBING AT WAR
Volume 1 - 1937 Pattern Webbing
Picture
This exciting new book by Edward Hallett is the first to look in detail at all aspects of the 1937 Pattern Webbing set in British and Empire service. Introduced just before the Second World War the 1937 Pattern set would see service with British and Empire troops and their allies throughout the war. It was made on five continents and there are numerous manufacturing variants and modifications to the set depending on when and where an item was manufactured. 
This book sets out to tell the story of the development of the 1937 Pattern set, the components that made up the sets and their development, how the set was actually used and looked after, its development both post war and for the RAF and Royal Navy and its manufacture around the globe. 
Finally the book looks at some of the accessories that can be found to accompany the set and its legacy in a wider global context.
With nearly 200 pages of contents, this fully referenced and indexed book is packed with hundreds of specially commissioned full colour photographs, drawing on the collections of historians across the globe to show the many variants and components of the sets. These photographs are combined with rare period photographs and diagrams to provide the most comprehensive guide to the subject ever released and this book is ideal for collectors, historians, modellers and those in the heritage sector.

WEBBING AT WAR
Volume 2 - The Other Wartime Webbing Sets
Picture
Following the first, critically acclaimed, volume in the Webbing at War series which covered 1937 pattern equipment, this volume looks at the other sets of webbing used by British forces in the Second World War. These sets are far rarer and little has ever been published about many of them, therefore this volume fills an important gap in the historiography and is an essential resource for collectors, modellers, historians and re-enactors. This book covers the Royal Navy’s 1919 Pattern webbing, the Royal Air Force’s 1925 Pattern equipment and the 1939, 1940 and 1944 pattern sets that were used by the British Army. The book covers the history of each set, the components that make up each set of equipment and how to assemble and wear the sets. The book is packed full of colour photographs of surviving pieces, together with period images and diagrams to tell the fascinating story of these forgotten webbing sets. This is an essential volume for all with an interest in webbing design and development and will be a resource you turn back to time and again.​
With nearly 180 pages of contents, this fully referenced and indexed book is packed with hundreds of specially commissioned full colour photographs, drawing on the collections of historians across the globe to show the many variants and components of the sets. These photographs are combined with rare period photographs and diagrams to provide the most comprehensive guide to the subject ever released and this book is ideal for collectors, historians, modellers and those in the heritage sector.

.380 Enfield No. 2 Revolver by Mark Stamps & Ian Skennerton
"The .380 Enfield revolver has long been considered the "poor cousin" of the Webley family, particularly the Mark IV model which it essentially duplicated. But the development and wartime production is a story of its own, described here in detail by an enthusiast of the British service revolver, in association with Ian Skennerton's research of the original War Office records and specimens held at the M.O.D. Pattern Room, Nottingham, where many of the illustrations were taken.
Issue markings, webbing equipment and accessories are also awarded separate chapters, making this study a handy reference for the enthusiast, collector and historian alike."
