Very rare original "Ship And Gun Drills 1905" with a hand written note from years ago telling of where this item was found in Japan and the approx. date. The stickers affixed to the book indicate this was once in a library of sorts. The Book itself is in fair to good condition for it's age, no missing or torn pages. All pages appear in very good condition. The spine seems sound. I am not a book appraiser and can only tell you what I see. So far my research indicates to date, that no original copies of "Ship and Gun drills 1905" have been found for sale. Do you collect hard to find Naval books? If so, this is one not to pass up, good luck!
