​Available for purchase is a rare, original 1974 Technical Manual for the Lance Guided Missile System. This was the premier mobile nuclear-capable field artillery missile of the Cold War era.

​Unlike modern reprints or digital PDFs, this is an authentic 1974 printing, complete with the tactile feel and historical "shelf-wear" expected of a genuine military document. This manual was the primary guide for the crews responsible for the maintenance, aiming, and firing of the MGM-52 Lance.

​Key Features & Content
​Detailed Schematics: Includes the highly sought-after fold-out technical diagrams (Figure 4-1) showing the M5 MMA markings and missile assembly.
​Operational Procedures: Detailed sections on the Launch Truss Controls (Fig 2-2) and Monitor-Programmer Controls.
​Aiming & Laying: Technical guidance on Azimuth Point-of-Aim and the use of the Remote Theodolite for missile alignment.
​Preventive Maintenance: Comprehensive tables for daily checks of the launcher (LZL) and associated equipment.

​Condition Report
​Overall: Good vintage condition.
​Cover: Minor aging and light surface soiling consistent with age. "06BX06" is handwritten in the top left corner, adding to its authentic provenance.
​Internal Pages: Very clean and legible. No major tears or missing pages observed.
​Binding: Standard military 3-hole punch format.

A must-have for Cold War historians, missile tech enthusiasts, or military document collectors.
