Thanks to Robert Segel for this fine article. Robert's long involvement as a collector of vintage firearms, as well as his passion for research, gives him an insight into the field that makes his work particularly meaningful to fellow collectors. I always look forward to Robert's articles in Small Arms Review, and I'm honored to have my work be the subject of one.

I have to put a plug in for SAR. It is the finest publication on the market dealing with contemporary and vintage military weapons, and the only weapons magazine I subscribe to. You can find out more about the magazine by visiting their Web site.
