No problem.
The official titel of the book is 'Moderne Gewehrfabrikation' by Otto Maretsch. Published in 1913 by Verlag von Bernh. Friedr. Voigt in Leipzig.

It also has some pretty rare, although not very nicely printed, photographs of rifle manufacturing and assembly at Fabrique Nationale, Mauser and DWM.

The original cover:
