An unusual item for Coolim Books. Handbuch der Waffenkunde (Handbook of Weaponry) by Wendelin Boeheim (text in German). Inscriptions on the title page indicate this copy once belonged to Lt. Col. (later Brigadier) P. Young and that he commissioned R.P. North to colour it's illustrations and translate their captions. Brig. Peter Young later founded England's Sealed Knot Society. René Percival North, an expert on military uniforms, published many books on that subject. See https://coolim-books.sumupstore.com/product/handbuch-der-waffenkunde
