WWII Imperial Japanese Army Official School Training Manual Type 38 Rifle

  
This is an original WWII Imperial Japanese Army "School Training Manual" officially issued by the Army Ministry Personnel Bureau. Printed in 1941 (Showa 16), this manual was strictly controlled and used for the training of soldiers and cadets before and during WWII. The book features detailed instructions, technical diagrams, and original illustrations showing the operation, maintenance, and disassembly of the Type 38 Arisaka Rifle and Type 30 Bayonet. All fold-out charts and technical drawings are present.

This manual is a rare surviving example of an official Japanese Army training book from the era. Manuals like this were not available to the general public and were typically destroyed after use, making them extremely hard to find today. Condition: Shows age wear, stains, and personal name writing (as often seen with real wartime manuals), but all pages and diagrams are intact.

Highly recommended for collectors of WWII Japanese militaria, Arisaka rifles, bayonets, and military historians. Own a Piece of History.
