Gunshow guide

[Guamsst]

I am writing a gunshow guide to Japanese militaria. My focus is on things you commonly find at gunshows. My goal is to have a guide that is about 4X6 inches, 12pgs and will cover most of the basic info a beginning collector would want and most of the detailed info a serious collector doesn't want to drag a large heavy book around to have, like arsenal and series marks. I cover Army rank badges, grenades and knee mortar rounds, canteens, and mess kits. I also have common markings of weapons such as arsenal marks and series numbers. I plan to include pics of pistols-Type26, 14Nambu and Type94 as well as rifles-Type 38, 38 carbine, 99 long, 99short

What I would like to know is this. If you guys were buying a basic guide to Japanese militaria what would you most like a reference for?

Is there something I haven't covered that you would like to have info handy for in a pocket sized guide?

someone placed a vote for OTHER. Could you please explain what it is you would like to see in a pocket guide. I basically have 1-2 spare pages left and want some good ideas on how to use the space.

Thanks John. I'm not looking for info but I am looking for knowledgable people to review and fact check for me. I'll shoot him an email sometime.
