Last a recent German language copy. This version does not include the fold-outs but does include those illistrations on single pages

Thanks George, for your wonderful and informative post, it should be made a sticky. Best regards, Norm

I don't know Alf. The descriptions I posted are for the manuals I own and others I have observed. There may be some variations of which I am unaware.

Very interesting and informative thread.

I picked this one up at the Antique Arms show in Las Vegas in January. The seller's pitch was that the manual is rare and out of print but he forgot to mention that it was a reproduction. Probably just slipped his mind or he did not think it was important to mention it. So... now I'm a bit curious as to what a fair price range for this would be. The paper is glossy and the manual contains fold out tables I, II, and III. The "Contents" page is on the back of the first page. The printing on the cover is more uniformly black than the photo depicts and the dark marks on the right side of both photos are shadows of a piece of wood I was using to keep the pages flat for the pics.

Thank you for any information you would care to share.

Regards,
Doug

Ron and George,
Please give me your opinions as to the originality of the manual I have for sale. The staples are 2 1/4" apart at the closest deminsion.

Mike,
As near as I can tell from the photos it appears to be an original. It is just of a configuration with the contents page on the back of the frontspiece that I have not seen before except in reproductions. That may well indicate that the repros were copied from a manual like yours.

Contents page of both of the early examples I have are on the reverse of the frontispiece only.
