Small-sized-, period WH instruction-booklet entitled: 'Das Gewehr 98 und seine Handhabung' (= instruction-/training manual for the K98 rifle) as published by the: 'Heinz Denckler Verlag' based in Berlin

The small-sized booklet - only sized: 15 x 10,5 cms. - is fully complete and retains all its 46 pages - containing various (ie. 33) illustrations and/or glued-in (to be folded out-) leaflet (!) - and is just somewhat yellowed caused by normal age ie. storage. The example on offer here has clearly been used ie. read but is void of any damage (normal traces of wear and/or age are however present as can be seen on the pictures. As possibly known has this booklet also been reproduced: this is naturally a fine original and/or period example. The booklet provides the reader with text and illustrations and gives a complete insight 'on properly using the standard WH rifle (or K98) and all its accesoiries' (including the various types of ammunition, cleaning-kit and/or bayonet, something that was of course deemed needed within the German army). These sought-after publications - as published by the 'Heinz Denckler Verlag' based in Berlin - were not 'standard-issue' but had to be privately acquired by the soldiers ie. NCO's and/or officers. These small-sized, instruction-manuals are very collectable and can easily be graded 'scarce'.
