I don't have much experience in collecting ordnance but I do very much enjoy finding original period documentation. I just recently came across two nice titles:
I also found some wartime US War Department Technical Bulletins regarding bombs, fuzes, adapters, primer-detonators etc. One of them even deals with the use of US fuzes for Japanese bombs in Army aircrafts!
I am aware that many of these titles are available digitally but I do enjoy the paper versions very much!
- Recognition handbook for German ammunition. Dated: Not dated but I would guess end of WW2?
- Inter-Service. Ammunition & Ammunition Package Markings. Dated: 1948.
