Here's the cover of my copy. Is it unusual?

[vikingraider1]

Thats exactly the same as mine.

If I am not mistaken there was also an amendmant to this version being published in 1959. I have both copies (stashed away somewhere) and if memory serves me correctly was published to highlight the change from the M1955 Officers Parade Uniforms. Its been a long time since I've seen these copies but I am almost certain there were two versions - one published in 1958 and one published in 1959.

VikingRaider,

You are right, there were 2 editions, one in 1958 (shown above), and one in 1959, which had a green cover.
The content of both editions is actually exactly the same. The only difference is that the 1958 edition was for internal military use, whereas the 1959 was sold to the public (there is a price written somewhere on the cover).

That's a relief. I thought I had an incompleate copy.
Were the first version given to institutions only? Mine has a stamp of military ingeneering(?) school in Kamieniec-Podolskiy and most likely was aquired there, since the guy I got it from is also from that city.

[Lapa]

Al-muell,

That's what I explained: 1958 edition was for official use by whatever institution needing the regulations, 1959 edition was available to anybody who wanted to purchase a copy.

Thanks for the reply Lapa. I didn't know the two were identical (shows how much attention I paid to them!). I have a translated (English) copy of these in book form which a friend did for me, he was a translator in the Royal Air Force.

VikingRaider,

For the longest time, I didn't pay attention to that either, until a friend explained me and I looked at the books side by side.
