Mr. Kellerstedt’s martial arms collection was one of the finest ever assembled. He assembled a large reference library to match. He and his collection contributed invaluable information to the works of many authors.

Mr. Kellerstedt was also a Veteran of World War II serving in A Company, 318th Infantry Regiment, part of the Army’s 80th Infantry Division. He was awarded two Bronze Stars with Vs for valor and four Purple Hearts during his service in the European Theater, including the Battle of the Bulge and the relief of Bastone.

These books are important references in their own right as well as a memento of one of the foremost martial arms collectors of our time. Each book in this section includes a letter of provenance to the late Mr. Kellerstedt's collection.
