Title: Good window into past of re-enacting/collecting
Product review: I owned this catalog back when it was current issue in the mid/late 1980's. I purchased items from it for use in, among other events, 125th Gettysburg in 1988. I am currently writing a monograph on U.S. Army issued firearms appendages of 1882. This catalog will be used as a research tool to show how plentiful and relatively inexpensive some of these appendages still were as late as the mid/late 1980's. This in turn suggests or confirms the huge numbers of them that must have been produced and/or the relatively small percentage of those fabricated that actually saw field use. The seller's price and service were both good.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
