Handbook of the 155mm Filloux Gun Materiel

A 97 year old book. Just barely used. 80 pages with 16 "plates"; foldout drawings of overall and components of the gun. Published when the gun was new and for use by AEF forces during and after WW1. Mainly deals with maintaining the gun. Sadly, only minor discussion of the ammuntion but very interesting, regardless. If there's anybody out there interested in maintaining their own Filloux gun, here's the "CHILTONS" manual for it. PM for details.
Lots of info online about the gun.
