Bayonets of the World was originally published from 1972 to 1976 in four volumes. It was the first publication to cover the complete field and immediately became the standard work on the subject. 35 years later it is still the standard reference work by which other books on the subject are measured. Author Paul Kiesling owned one of the largest and finest collections of bayonets of the world. He combined his collection, extensive knowledge and drawing talents with those of other important collectors and museums. Bayonets of the World - The Complete Edition, contains drawings and information from original versions, but is extended with new information and drawings, arranged into 47 national chapters, depicting and describing over 1100 bayonets by country. This edition also contains indices on markings, manufacturers, lengths, and countries.
