For what it is, there’s no replacement or equivalent, and that is a brief directory listing of individual companies involved in military equipment over many years. In some cases it continues an entry from volume 1 (marked with an asterisk), and there’s a great cross-referenced list by location & type of items sold (pg 552-587). What you will not find in this volume is extensive information, nor a lot of photos. If you’re looking for a major retailer’s marks & company name at various dates, that’s covered in other books. The thing’s over an inch thick and there are a *lot* of listings in relatively small print covering a mind-blowing number of years. Know your tools. 🙂
