Original Description:
This is frankly one of the rarest books in America. This is the First Bible printed in America with American type. The Christopher Saur  1776, Revolutionary War version of Martin Luther's 1743 German Bible. It became known as the " Gun Wad " Bible after British Soldiers raided Saur's Germantown, PA print shop seizing all of the printed leaves ( pages ). At that time only about 200 Bibles had been bound so the leaves were used by the British soldiers as padding in their horse stall...s and as wadding for their muskets. Today, fewer than 100 finished Bibles are known to still exist. This Saur Bible has all 1275 pages and a loose sheet that looks like a hand written forward which we cannot read as it like the rest of the Bible is in German. The spine has a couple of chips missing and one clasp is also not there but overall it is in very decent condition. Shipping INSURANCE cannot be calculated until the selling price is known, therefore please Do Not Pay Now. We will send an invoice with the proper insurance added.  No International Shipping.
