Description:

This report, also published as Ordnance Memoranda No 15, is appendix H to the Chief of Ordnance Report. The 372 page report describes, with engravings, most of the 99 "systems" submitted to the board. There are further component engravings of the individual parts of all of the guns actually submitted to tests and exhaustive trials, tests etc. This is a great source for information on some of the lesser known military guns of the late 19th century.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with some scuffing and staining on the leather cover.
