Measures 3 ½" x 4 ½", small enough to fit in a tunic breast pocket. Paperback, 44 pp., published by the State Military Publishing House, Moscow. Russian text. Printed on low-quality pulpy paper. Contains instructions for basic maintenance care and service for the famous Degtyarev machine gun which was deployed for use in the Red Army in 1928 and continues to be used even now, with modifications and upgrades, of course.

In very good condition. The cover shows a crease and two water stains. The larger water stain can be traced throughout the book but did not cause any damage to the paper or readability of the text.

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