Hi,
Just received a 1928 German Police officer weapons training book. Published in 1928 by Verlag Eisenschmidt in Berlin.
The book gives a basic technical description of the weapons available to police unit in the later Weimar years. These include sticks, swords, bayonets, the P08, Mauser '7.65' (model 1912/1914), c96, K98, MP18, MP08(!) and the wellknown stick grenade.
The P08 section features a group of well-known very old engravings of an interesting parabellum mix. (note the old style knobs, trigger, barrel and safety lever).
In the MP18 section, there are some interesting bits about the famous trommel-magazine, including the lay-out of the carrying box and the way munitions carriers were supposed to wear the trommel magazines (3 at once).
As with other books, if anyone needs access or information for reference purposes, just let me know.
