Small Arms Survey 2003

This is a second-hand copy of the book Small Arms Survey 2003, a project of the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva and published by Oxford University Press.

Condition: this is a used book in good condition, though there is shelf wear to the cover. The product image probably looks worse than it is due to the black surface showing every imperfection in high detail. The inside page has a stamp "Strand Annex" possibly from a former retailer.
