The Owen Gun by Wayne Wardman is a hardcover, illustrated 1991 history that charts the rugged Australian submachine gun from backyard prototype to Pacific battlefields. Wayne Wardman’s narrative blends military biography with industrial true story, making this volume a standout for collectors of Australian, World War II, and firearms literature.

This copy arrives in good, collector-ready shape: clean, unmarked pages, tight binding, no dog-ears, and no smoke or storage odors. While the dust jacket carries light edge scuffs and a fine cut, the boards beneath remain solid, and the interior is fresh save for a touch of foxing on the front inner cover; the illustrated pages themselves are bright and unaffected.

Complete with its original jacket, the book offers a crisp, photo-rich look at Australia’s most famous wartime invention without the usual ex-library flaws. It’s an ideal shelf piece for enthusiasts of true military stories, Australian history, or unique small-arms development.
