ИЖ 40 pistol

[slow_runner]

After searching on the net for information on the Baikal IJ40 pistol (or IZH40) I was about to give up on sourcing any more knowledge on this Russian Grandfather other than a few comments and notes.
All thanks too those contributors and especially to the enthusiastic members of the various Russian forums.
When I came upon the reference to it as the ИЖ 40 pistol the information flooded in.
Now google translate is a boon, but being a direct translation it makes for interesting reading, much like learning to comprehend Shakespeares' English, only much harder.
I have found a copy of the original manual but in JPEG format. The images are easy to understand, it's the words that are a challenge.
I will post up the images via photobucket for any interested parties.
If there are any members who might wish to do a Russian to English translation in word document that would be a decided bonus and well appreciated. Just not Shakespeare though, OK?
