The "Bible" for Third Reich Edged Blade collectors,
By
This review is from: Collecting the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich (Hardcover)
This overview of Third Reich Edged Weapons is a must for all collectors whether you have 1 or 100 in your collection. A very good overview of the different variations of dress daggers with clear and representative pictures of each. Also has chapters on swords, dress-bayonets, engravings, etc. The book also has a number of chapters that should be read by all collectors. Especially the one on counterfeit daggers. It is the sort of book you as a collector just can't put down and as a reference book it is worth its weight in gold. It also has a very useful listing on RZM numbers. Good thing it is card-cover because I can see wearing this book out if it was paper-back. The book could possibly have had more color photographs, and a more updated overview on values.

This review is from: Collecting the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich (Hardcover)
It might had some value on its day, but currently, with the availability of the internet it is not worth the expense.
