This review is from: The Iron Cross of 1939 (Hardcover)

This extensive study, the result of many years of painstaking research, provides the collector and historian with an in-depth analysis of all grades of the 1939 issue of the most famous military decoration of all time. As well as covering all major variants of the Iron Cross itself, miniatures, presentation cases and award documents with many of their variants are also included. Special emphasis has been placed on the various manufacturers, to include their markings and the miniscule but unique die characteristics of their products.

As a special bonus, the German Cross in Gold and Honor Roll Clasps and the post-war 1957 versions of all of these awards are examined in detail. 2002 hard bound, illustrated hard cover, no dj as issued, glossy page stock, 6x9, 496 pages , 962 photos (many in color) -deluxe binding.
