Presented is a 48-card complete set of R173 World In Arms released in 1939. This release is one of the most attractive of the so-called "propaganda" issues from the late 1930s. With its card-sized painting art, and no interruption of design for captions or advertising, the viewer of R173's gallery is free to absorb the fascinating sights of the period's war-making machinery -- with no distraction. The cards' subjects are classified into six categories: Airplanes (16 cards), Field Artillery (4 cards), Fortifications (4 cards), Iron Cavalry (4 cards), Miscellaneous (8 cards) and Ships (12 cards). Grades 42% EX to EX/MT, 58% VG to VG/EX.
