Hi Abby, the Mauser 1971 circa luger auto parabellum manual-print (item number 4867) is unreadable, the back pages are almost blank. Can I send it back for a new one, or something similar regarding the interarms mauser paraballum 9mm? thank you. Frank
Hello Frank, You are not wrong. I fixed the files and will sent you two sizes of the manual. Cheers, Rob All Luger Publications
Outstanding, job well done!!!

Good day Abby, I have all but seven Winchester dealer/wholesaled price catalogs, and I look every month when I get your newsletter (20 years?) but never find one. Then by chance I hit on the Remington Price list below. Am I searching in the wrong place? I am looking for a 1985 Winchester dealer/wholesaled price catalog most urgently, then 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2005. My preference is for a PDF because of the postage costs. Can you help? Sincerely Keith, Australia
Hello Keith, I’m afraid we aren’t adding new material right now. The new website makes it awfully hard and complicated so we are taking our time trying to figure out what to do now. You could try eBay for originals, but, as you say, shipping is very costly. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. Cheers, Rob – All Winchester Publications

Hello, I would like to buy copies of all of the United States Cartridge Company catalogs you have on e-bay except the 1881 and 1891 catalogs which I already have. Is there a way to do a bulk order/shipping to save some postage?
The quick answer is no, not on eBay, it is impossible to unwind the eBay charges to get credit for the missing revenue when we combine shipping (they charge commissions on shipping as well as the price of the item). Also, I’m not sure we have all the USCC catalogs on eBay. Sorry, Rob for cornellpubs.

Re: Beretta 1963 M12 9mm SMG Catalog – I have bought from you in the past. I bought and paid for this Beretta catalog last Wednesday, 10/15/2025. Apparently, it has still not been printed or shipped. Is there some problem with this order. Thanks. William
Gosh, you are right, I have no idea why we missed it. I’m very sorry; I’ll print it right now and send it to you this afternoon. My apologies. Cheers, Rob for cornellpubs
Glad to hear that this was just an oversight and that there isn’t anything “wrong” on your end. Thanks. William
Rod – What is the status of this order. eBay shows that the catalog has still not been shipped? William
Hello William, Every once in a while, we get an order that just won’t cooperate, and I’m sorry, this one is yours. The first package we sent (USPS Tracking- 9400136106028307138194) never got into the post office system even though they got the package with postage attached. The second one (USPS Tracking- 9405536106028277896776) is on its way to you despite eBay not updating the tracking number when we shipped it on Oct 21. I did, however, manually update it just now. Of course, that one is late, so, in case there is a problem with it, I’ll send a third package today. I am sorry for all this confusion but I hope you agree we are working hard to fix things. Oh yes, one other thing. When I manually entered the October 21, 2025, shipping date this morning, eBay recorded the data shipped as Oct 25. As I said, the correct shipping date for that package was Oct 21. Cheers, Rob for cornellpubs – All Beretta Publications
Rob – Thanks for taking the time to give me an update on what has been going on. I have bought from you in the past and appreciate all that you do. Having to deal with the general public these days is difficult at best and you all do it better then most. I will give you some glowing feedback when and if (just kidding) I ever get my manual. Thanks again. William
*************************************************** Hello, I hope your week is going well and thank you for getting the Ideal mauanls I requested out so quickly. I went through the #22, #28, #33 and $36 and three of them, the #28, #33 and #36 are wonderful. They replicate very well a couple of original Ideal manuals I have, that are becoming fragile with age. It will be nice to have some modern durable prints to use. I have an old Winchester manufactured the same year the manual #22 (1911), that I do not have an an original manual for, and would have covered the 32WSL data for that year. Unfortunately the data on 6 pages, on the back side, were mis-printed in a micro font, almost like a microfiche print. It is right in the middle of the manual and starts on the page with the lady playing the harp and ends a page before the Native American with the bow. The pages in #22 are not numbered so those are my reference points. I’ve attached some photos for reference. I don’t know that I need an entire replacement manual? Maybe some addendum prints that I can insert for those pages, would make the manual useable, as I plan on using the manual and not for collector purposes. Thank you, John
My fault, I’ll fix it and send a replacement. Sorry, Rob All Ideal Publications

Hello Duane, Thanks so much for the Mossberg parts catalog. I forwarded it to our website lady, and although she isn’t adding new material at the moment, she has it in the to-do tray. I also added it to the permanent file of our reprints, so it is safe in two places for the time being. Abby and I are most grateful for your support and your generosity. Cheers, Rob – All Our Mossberg Publications
Hello again folks, From our previous communication, you know that I collect pre-war gun catalog information (much of it from you) for Mossberg research. I have spent the last year and a half pulling together pdf scans of essentially all the Wards firearms sections from about 1920 through 1948, so that I can decode the list, schedules, and original sale configuration of house brand (Premier and Western Field) Mossbergs at Montgomery Ward. This information has previously been hard to get hold of because Wards went out of their way to make it hard to get at – house brand catalog listings can’t be accessed with regular model crossover charts. After 1935 they didn’t even list Model numbers at all.
I just submitted the first of several articles on early results of that research to the National Mossberg Collectors Association for their quarterly. I have also shared the scans with a friend who is interested in doing the same for some of the Savage and Stevens rifles. The decoded catalog numbers allow a clear parallel chronology to the spotty information production information in manufacturer catalogs.
I gathered these by purchasing catalogs, finding a few free catalog downloads, and traveling to or corresponding with repositories. It was tough – there is no single repository that has them all. I assume you understand if there are copyright issues. The university repositories (Cheyenne, WY and Memphis TN) were clear they do not hold copyright but otherwise would not comment whether anyone else did. From your offerings, I gather there may not be copyright issues for these catalogs. As you can imagine, I have spent quite a bit of money on this pursuit.
I intend to keep researching with these in a continuing series of articles reconstructing Mossberg production history and making available the information that has been unavailable until I figured out the catalog number codes that supplement the confusing crossover charts. But the effort and expense have made me worry about this information not being available beyond my tenure. I’m 70, so I may or may not be around a good while yet. But long-term I’d rather they were available to enthusiasts and researchers. At the same time, I wouldn’t mind recovering some of the expense either. You folks are the experts on this and I assume you procure, beg, buy, borrow the material that you sell as scans/reprints. I’m in no hurry to recoup costs but want to float the idea for your thoughts. Five or 10 years from now I would probably just give the files to you, but right now I’m still too aware of the costs. Duane
Duane, Thanks for your long note. Your work is interesting, but I am afraid you’ll have some trouble making money from it. Our modest success in selling reprints comes from our having over 7000 different titles to sell. A few reprints sell all the time, but a great number, including all the Mossbergs, very rarely, if ever, sell. Trying to sell your research on Mossbergs, I’m afraid, would be a hopeless task; based on our experience, people would just not pay for your hard work. Anyway, the takeaways you should get from my note are that Mossbergs are really a very narrow niche and the sort of research you are doing is narrower still. I think your choice of sharing your work with the Mossberg collectors is a good one, but I don’t see how we can help. However, if you can be more specific about what you think we might be able to do for you, I will be pleased to look at helping. Cheers, Rob

Re: Stevens 1903 No. 50 Rifles, Shotguns, Pistols Catalog – Hello. Can you please tell me if this catalog contains the model 165 single shot trigger break shotgun? If it is not can you please tell me if it is in the no. 51 catalog that you also sell? Thank you for your time. rokais14 (ebay)
All our reprints include a comprehensive index of contents. But, to see the index, you have to scroll down past all the ebay advertisements. Yes, the 165 is on this issue. Rob for cornellpubs
Hello. I just received the Stevens 1903 catalog and it does not have the single shot model 165 shotgun in it. It has the 110, 120, and 140. I specifically wanted the 165.
We goofed! We did the indexes for 7000 of the catalogs and many manuals we offer and we failed on that one. It was probably conflated with the Stevens 1904 circa Arms & Tool Company No. 51. I’ll fix the index for the ’03 and send you the ’04 which certainly does have the 165, I checked! Sorry about that. Cheers, Rob for cornellpubs
Thank you very much Rob!!! – All Stevens Publications

Hi Kellie, We can’t use them, but I’ll put your note in our newsletter to see if any of our readers are interested. I can tell you that the Eley or Kynoch catalogs we carry very rarely sell because we don’t ship overseas. The market for the books is the UK and Commonwealth countries. You should list them with one of the large multi-country book sellers like Abebooks or World of Books. Good luck, Abby

Good day Abby, I have placed orders with you few times before. Today I am trying to place an order and your ordering system gives me. “There are no shipping options available” Is this because of the current Canada Post strike, or you just don’t ship to Canada anymore? Jean
Hi Jean, Thanks for your note. You are right, we no longer ship to Canada, or Europe for that matter. Virtually all countries now require shippers to collect import duty, taxes and etc.. This means we would have to keep accounts for each individual country and submit reports and payments, something the two of us just can’t do for what we charge. I can tell you that many of our publications are available on ebay and they, for a price, handle shipping. Alternately, you can download a pfd from us and have it printed locally. Hope this helps, Abby
Thanks for your prompt reply, you didn’t answer the second part of my question. I own properties in the US and will be in Florida next month.Can I place an order to be shipped to my Fl address and have it delivered within a the time i’ll be there? I would need to know who you use as carrier to be able to assess the lead time. Let me know, Thanks, Jean
