Measures 3" x 4 ¾", in oilcloth soft cover. Printed on special-issue watermarked paper with the abbreviation "НКВД" (NKVD, Russian for People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs) for added security, to prevent forgery.

The booklet contains mostly pages and pages of cutout coupons for recording the allotment of personal items, such as clothing, footwear, bedding, towels, underwear, etc. There is a section to record the outcome of inspections verifying the presence of provided items, and a section to record returned items. The last section of the booklet is "Rules", describing the proper way of handling the records and, of course, outlining the consequences of not handling them properly or losing the booklet altogether.

In good to very good condition. The cover shows whitish stains, but the internal pages are well-preserved; all the notations are clear and legible.

Please note that the penny in our photo is for size reference.
