Description
Offered is an outstanding complete consecutive 17-issue run of Tradition: The Journal of the International Society of Military Collectors, Numbers 60 through 76.
This is particularly desirable because No. 76 was the end of the original series, making Nos. 60-76 the complete final 17-issue sequence. Tradition ultimately comprised 76 issues and became a respected specialist publication devoted to military uniforms, history, model soldiers and related collecting. The publication ceased in 1974.

The final No. 76 is itself an excellent military-history issue, with subjects including The Tigers of India, the men who fought the Plains Indians, the Egypt Medal of 1882, the 14th U.S. Infantry, New South Wales Lancers and Austro-Hungarian Landwehr.
