Astra Automatic Pistols
Hardcover • First Edition • SIGNED and Dated by the Author (1996)
Leonardo Antaris

A detailed reference work on Astra automatic pistols, covering their history, variations, specifications, and production, illustrated for collectors, historians, and firearms enthusiasts.

Condition:

• First Edition, signed and dated by the author on the title page above his printed name (signature not formally authenticated).
• Gift inscription to the former owner on the front free endpaper that may also have been signed and dated by the author using only his first name; this has not been verified, although the handwriting appears similar to the title-page signature.
• All remaining pages are unmarked.
• Spine shows some weakening from use, but all pages remain firmly attached, and the binding overall is sound.
• One page was apparently over-glued during production, causing its inner margin to adhere to the adjacent page; all text remains fully readable.
• Foxing is present on the endpapers and first and last several pages, with lighter foxing on the outside page edges.
• Front free endpaper and title page have light vertical bending marks.
• Page margins show light age-darkening.
• Cover has minor wear, mainly rubbing marks and edge/corner-point wear.
