Testimonials
Shawn Gibson, former president of the Society of the American Bayonet Collectors, calls the Krag bayonet book “the definitive work on the subject for generations to come.”
The Journal of America’s Military Past (Winter 2012), in a review of the Krag book, states: “This is without a doubt one of the best ‘arms’ books released in the last decade or so.”
