Original WWI instructional poster entitled: "UNITED STATES RIFLE CALIBER .30 M1903 - BAYONET M1905". This poster was prepared by the "Small Arms Division/Office of Chief of Ordnance/Washington D.C.". The 40-inch by 32-inch colored poster has top, side and cut-away views of the M1903 rifle and identifies all of the rifle parts and accouterments including the sling and oiler and thong case. Specifications for the rifle and .30 caliber cartridge are located on the lower right hand corner of the poster. The poster is complete with what appears to be the original fame. This is a rare Ordnance Department WWI instructional poster. This desirable poster would complement any Model 1903 or U.S. martial arms collection.

Very good. The poster is bright and has no tears or repairs. There are old water stains along the lower right side and left edge of the poster; the stains do not extend to the images of the rifle and do not detract from the poster. The black-painted wooden frame is original to the poster and shows moderate wear. This is a much sought after example of a rare accessory for the Model 1903 Rifle.
