| This is just more good stuff, and mostly all different from Vol. I . In this volume I found that strange flat-sided wiper I dug, and discovered it was a European pattern . Like Volume I, this one is also almost 400 pages, with another 600 photos. Both of these Volumes cover US, Foreign, and Confederate, from "the era of the Wheellock to the Warsaw Pact," which includes scads of Civil War period tools. Ball Screws, Wipers, Mainspring vices, combination tools, jags, wrenches, tompions, brushes, and a whole lot more.
