31x20cm, 69pp, plus one blank, and a blank front cover. There are also 17 plates, which are original photographs of drawings, all pasted onto onion skin paper. These images show sites, shooting position, "hasty sighting positions", and such. "Individual Instruction in Rifle Practice--Revised Edition" is a carbon copy from typed originals, presented on onion-skin paper. At the top of the title page/table of contents--but crossed out--is "Training Regulation No. 150-5" and "War Department, Washington" and then underneath that, "Marksmanship--Rifle--Individual". +++There are ten sections: general provisions; first step, sighting and aiming; second step, positions; third step, trigger squeeze; fourth step, rapid fire; nomenclature; effects of wind--sight changes; fifth step, examination of men before starting range practice; gallery practice; range practice. Rare. No copies located in OCLC. I cannot tell if this was issued in this format, or something similar. It is no doubt one of only a few copies (as a carbon). Condition: the edges of the onion skin paper are tattered here and there, though overall the document is in GOOD condition. Binding: the blank front leaf has a number of tears and tatters, and the whole is bound with a metal clasp at top.…
