Original Soviet Manual — Model 1895 Revolver & Model 1933 Pistol — 109 Illustrations
Original Soviet military technical manual for the Model 1895 revolver and Model 1933 pistol. This is an original period publication, not a modern reproduction.
Size: 11.5 × 17 cm (approx. 4.5 × 6.7 in)
The surviving book consists of 127 pages and contains 109 technical illustrations.
IMPORTANT — COMPLETENESS AND CONDITION: Although the publication has several physical losses, the entire substantive content of the manual is preserved in full. There are no missing pages from the technical text and no missing illustrations.
The front soft cover and title page are missing, so the surviving pagination begins with page 3. Because the title page is absent, the exact year of publication cannot currently be confirmed.
At the end, page 130 is present and contains part of the table of contents. Only the final page of the table of contents is missing. This does not result in any loss of the actual technical content, since the table of contents refers to material that is present in the book.
The original rear cover is present. The book block itself is in good condition for its age. Most importantly, the complete instructional and technical portion of the manual, including all 109 illustrations, has survived intact.
Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact physical condition of this copy.
