** WORLD WAR ONE ERA MILITARY COLLECTORS ** For your consideration is a pocket manual for the Operation and Tactical Use of the Lewis Automatic Machine Rifle. It was published in 1917 by the D. Van Nostrand Co. of New York. It was intended to document the lessons learned during the first world war involving the use of the lewis gun. For a 97 year old book it's in quite good condition.
