Description

This lot contains two original World War I Chauchat manuals, sold together as a single lot:

  1. Chauchat Machine Rifle Manual — 1917 (Original)
    Wartime operating and maintenance handbook for the Chauchat CSRG series — field stripping, lubrication, mounting, ammunition handling and troubleshooting. Original 1917 printing; shows period wear but complete and legible.

  2. Manual of the Automatic Rifle Chauchat — General Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.), March 1918 (Original)
    Official A.E.F. manual issued in France, March 1918 — covers American-service procedures, training notes, and A.E.F.-specific handling for Chauchat automatic rifles in U.S. service contexts. Original A.E.F. issue, complete and legible.

Both volumes are stamped on the title/ownership page: “LIEUT. C. L. LEEPER, ORD., RES.”, an ordnance ownership/issue mark that significantly enhances provenance and research value. These are original wartime manuals (not reproductions) and make a compelling paired set for collectors of WWI small arms literature, Chauchat specialists, ordnance historians, and institutions.
