Very common.

most are repros, and not "original"

Zeke, as Ed said, most are reproductions. These were copyrighted in 1964 by 'Shooter's Bible' and published by the Stoger Publishing Co. The ones I have also have the price $1.95 on the upper right corner of the front page, I don't see that on the one you posted, it might be a variation or possibly an original. The reproductions are rewrites of the originals with corrections made to the translation to make it a little more easily read. I'd ask for the publication date, that should tell you if it's original or not.
