Mine is an original as well and Farb says it has all kinds of stuff, rifles, pistols, bayonets, etc., by country. I've never seen it because he has it. I bought it and it was delivered to him for review and it could be that it being held hostage. When it shows up we can compare. It was clearly intended to be a unit level type manual for G2, training, in binder format so it could be updated.
I know that problem. DaveR is holding some hostages too.
Sorry, but I do not know what a "G2" is. Can you please explain.
My copy came from the estate sale of Dr. Ludwig Vorgrimler.

I assume that it was taken from the Mauser plant. But I can not prove.
Thanks

Book? What book? I don't know what you're talking about.
Hi Dave! nice to hear from you.

To expand on what Hambone said, the G2 is a staff officer roughly equivalent to a German Ic.
G2 is the US military term for the intelligence section
Thanks! .
It's only fair to Hambone that I show him a few pages from his book that I have captive. The paper is very fragile, I don't expect it will last another 50-75 years without deteriorating completely. Time to scan it to save the information I think.

@mrfarb: the front page of YOUR book is different to the one I have.
Does it say how many amendments were included? My copy is complete with the 7th amendment (Nachtrag, not sure how to translate it correctly) dated March 1943.
I love those double/triple captured guns.
Imagine the following rifle: Imperial German Gew.98, ... reworked at Radom, ...... captured by the Russians in the early days of WWII, ....... captured by the Germans during "Barbarossa", ..... back to the Russians at the end of the war, .... sold to ..and ... brought home from Viet Nam.
hypothetical possible.

Hambone, mrfarb ...... what do you think. Not a bad idea, to put both books together, and have it reprinted.
I just went through the pages and found a few, dated October 1943 (10-1-43) on the lower left corner.
First booty weapon shown in my book is an American "Bayonet, model of 1905", Seitengewehr 100 (a).
The Springfield sniper is not shown anymore, compared to the reprints.
Heber's woefully incomplete reprint (http://books.google.com/books?id=35We_Y2pgg0C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false) has some revisions dated October 44 (1.10.44).
I am on-board with the reprinting though, and it doesn't have to be Volume I and II quality by any means.
What I planned to do is pay to have mine professionally scanned, word searchable, etc. and offer copies if guys are interested to help pay the costs. Mike tells me it is pretty complete, original wartime, and hundreds of pages. It came out of a vet officer's estate.
