I dont have much use for it, but someone here might appreciate it. I found a 1942 Illustrated Identification Manual for one of these. Prior owner took care of it, and kept it sandwiched between cardboard layers.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having it to go with my Sten piece. How could I get it from you?
ray ----- I'm just of the old school I guess. What is meant by the term "PM"? I would like to have the manual.

Go to Just_Me's account and PM's are under "Start Conversation"....Bodes

Before you let it go, please post pictures of each page so we can all read it.

No offence but how does one manage to rack up almost 6,500 posts and never send someone a message before?
I mailed out the manual to a forum member that reached out to me, so I no longer have it anyway

This looks like a reproduction. Too clean edges and printing. Is this original? It has zero wear for something 80 years old. Nice, though.

It came from an estate of a collector, It had the original envelope that he bought it in with a canceled postage from the early 1990's I believe. That was before the age of ebay, and the internet, so it would seem to be a lot of trouble for a reproduction to be made in that era.
I have a repro of that one. I bought it in the 1990's but don't ask me exactly when or where I got it.
