THIS IS A CDB- A BOOK SCANNED AND RECORDED ON A COMPUTER DISC.
************ IN THE LATE 1980s I IMPORTED 25 COPIES OF THIS BOOK FROM JAPAN. THEY SOLD ON FIRST OFFER AND NO WONDER. IT IS THE BEST REFERENCE EVER MADE ON THE SUBJECT OF JAPANESE ARMY HEAVY WEAPONS. I KEPT 2 COPIES FOR THE ARCHIVE AND WHEN I WENT TO BUY MORE THE PUBLISHER HAD GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. **********************************
THIS BOOK IS SO RARE THAT THE WORLDWIDE LIBRARY REFERENCE LISTS ONLY 3 COPIES IN LIBRARIES; 1) LIBRARY OF CONGRESS , 2) TOKYO CENTRAL LIBRARY AND CHINESE MAIN PUBLIC LIBRARY. WHEN I POSTED MY EXTRA COPY ON EABY IT SOLD IN EXCESS OF 0. I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY THIS BOOK AT ANY PRICE.*************

WELCOME TO THE CRITTENDEN SCHMITT ARCHIVES ON LINE MUSEUM AND DEACQUSITION SALE.
THE ITEMS IN OUR REFERENCE COLLECTION DATE BACK TO ABOUT 1849 WHEN MY GREAT UNCLE, RALPH CRITTENDEN AND HIS PARTNER RICHARD TIBBALS CREATED THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL AMMUNITION FACTORY IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DRAWN CARTRIDGES , PERCUSSION CAPS AND ALL FORMS TO AMMUNITION OF INTEREST TO THE GUN MANUFACTURING FACTORS OF THE DAY. SPENCER , SHARPS , HENRY , VOLCANIC, JENNINGS, REMINGTON, JOSLYN,WESSON,BALLARD,BACON,BLISS,WARNER AND SMITH AND WESSON ALL SOLD CRITTENDEN AND TIBBALS AMMUNITION UNDER THEIR OWN TRADE NAME. THE UNION ARMY BOUGHT MILLIONS OF CTM PERCUSSION CAPS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SPENCER CARTRIDGES DURING LINCOLN’S WAR AND ALL OF THE SPENCER AMMUNITION USED IS THE FIRST MAJOR BATTLES INCLUDING GETTYSBURGH WERE ALL MADE BY CRITTENDEN AND TIBBALS.
****Over the course of the next couple of years we will be offering for sale thousands of rare specimens of museum quality many of which have never been offered for sale before and which you will likely never see for sale again. Why are we selling this archive and reference collection? After 150+ years of interest in ammunition there is no one else interested in the field in our family. My personal collecting has spanned 50 years and I am at an age when it is time to stop and pass on such activities to others.
