EXTRAORDINARILY RARE PARTS BREAKDOWN AND OPERATING MANUAL FOR THE PEDERSEN DEVICE.

EXTRAORDINARILY RARE PARTS BREAKDOWN AND OPERATING MANUAL FOR THE PEDERSEN DEVICE. This is an orig draft of the operating manual for the Pedersen Device, “COPY 2” typewritten on legal sized paper with manila card-weight cover. Face of the cover is typewritten “CONFIDENTIAL / NOTES / ON / CALIBER .30 MODEL of / 1918 / PISTOL”. It is additionally marked “Prepared by / SMALL ARMS DIVISION, / Ord. Dept. / MACHINE GUN SECTION / S.G. GREEN / Captain, Ord. Dept. / USA”. Top right of cover has an ink stamp “O.O. War Department / OMS / DEC 2-1919”.

Also included are twelve 8″ x 10″ sepia tone photographs of the Pedersen Device in various situations and stages of disassembly. Two of the photographs also picture the device and a Mark I rifle. Photographs are mounted to white canvas. While there are a few Pedersen Devices with one occasionally coming to market, this is probably the only such document that will ever come to market and should be a “must” for the advanced military collector. CONDITION: About good. Cover & pages are mostly intact, yellowed with a few minor chips and a small tear in one or two of the pages. However, page 22 of the instructions is detached and shows losses to the right edge & bottom and is quite brittle. 4-42373 JR127 (2,500-3,500)
