There is no paper dust jacket. It came inside a hardboard black sleeve/case that the book slides into. You might be able to see it under the book. The entire package was wrapped in clear protective plastic which didn't last very long once I received it.

Ton is a good writer and he contributed several articles to Parker Pages years ago when I was editor.
It’s definitely a limited edition and one that I don’t have in my collection of Parker books… yet.
But I do have that original advertisement in an old issue of American Sportsman or Hunting and Fishing magazine fron the 1930’s that is depicted on the cover of your book.
The Parker gun pictured is a Trojan after the discontinuation of the rib extension.
