Green paperback. Restricted. 183 pages. Raritan Arsenal.
Rubber stamp, "82nd Artillery Division 243 F.A. Maintenance BN. Section B File & Copy No. 941"
Paper stamp pasted to front: "CLASSIFICATION CANCELLED, in accordance with par.15, AR 380-5, by authority of W.D. Circular 66 1946."
Extremely well-illustrated technical manual describing not only the artillery piece itself, but the ammunition, operation, fire control systems, and associated optics. An incredible resource for the collector or modeler!
I've seen at least 4 copies with this combination of pasted notice and rubber stamp, including this one. One had "Copy No." blank, and the other three have "941" in what may be ball-point ink. Is this fake?
