Yup, pretty neat. I see them from time to time at the gun shows.

Looks like you got an older version of that. I've seen them with print dates in the 1970's and 1980's. The newest ones are a compact version that is half the size.
If you can find an orignal one dated 1956 you'd have what only one other person I know has!

Wonder how many Supematics the services used? I've never seen a US-marked one, just HDs and Bs.

The .38 Spl. S&W "Combat Masterpiece" they cover was a standard issue to USAF Air Base security personnel for many years.
