1884 - 1904 ORIGINAL
ORDNANCE DOCUMENTS – TRAPDOORS, M1903 SPRINGFIELD
RIFLES, HORSE EQUIPMENT, COLT PISTOLS, ARTILLERY:
These are original
printings of US Army Ordnance Department General Orders
and Circulars that were at one time bound in volumes by
year groups. The bound volumes in addition to
containing the subject matter found in the pages offered
here, also contained reams of information of no interest
to anyone today and likely of little interest to anyone
at the time they were published – i.e., the proper
techniques in painting structures, grounds keeping,
approved leaves of absence for Ordnance personnel,
travel approvals, who needed to file which overdue
reports, ad nauseum. These rescued documents of
interest range in size from 1 page to in excess of 40
pages each and are printed on 7 ¼” by 5” paper page
stock. Each is in excellent, clear, clean condition,
with no rips, tears or edge wear and the only marks are
the stitching holes where the pages were bound in the
volumes. I have posted one photograph of one document
to illustrate the format. The content or subject matter
of each document is listed below in the list organized
by date, as well as the price for each depending on the
comparative value of the content.
