5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer on Germanic Militaria, May 10, 2009

This review is from: Militaria: A Study of German Helmets & Uniforms 1729-1918 (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)

This early primer on Militaria contains excellent pictures on a wide diversity of items from postcards, uniform studies, pouches, selected headgear and helmets to illustrate the various periods from the Napoleonic period to WWI.
Targetted at the general collector on militaria and antiquarians, it serves its purpose admirably although there are now other more specialised publications focussing in depth on specific areas.
