German Swords of World War II - A Photographic Reference
Vol.1: Army
 
 This three volume set on World War II German swords by LTC (Ret.) Thomas M. Johnson, a leading collector and authoritative researcher, is a follow-up to his successful and highly acclaimed four volume series on World War II German daggers by Schiffer Publishing (1995). Johnson is the author of some twenty-six reference books on the subject of German edged weaponry. This sword series has been designed to aid not only the beginning collector, but also the seasoned advanced collector and specialist. These volumes are the result of many years of arduous research conducted on both sides of the Atlantic, and are a scholarly study that is more than a perfunctory annotation and illustration of the known basis patterns. Also, the series is a study of a culture and the crafts that actually produced the blades, as well as being a manual in the art of collecting them. The embracing scope is both educational and recreational, and adds a whole new dimension to this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books one finds the historical background, the manufacturing techniques, constructional information, the actual basic patterns, variations and rarities, and a whole host of salient facts of absorbing interest. Size: 9"x12", 400 color and b/w photos, 304 pages. (sch) Price - $79.95

World War II German War Booty
The tacking of souvenirs or "trophies" from the opposing forces in combatis is old as warfare itself. A studyof archaeology reveals that man has taken battlefield relics from his scenes of  battle since the earlist times, and this practice of collecting tributes to one`s conquest continues today. However, soldiers sometimes have helped themselves to public and private property in general, creating a legally tangled provenance for some "war souvenirs". This long-standing quest for battlefield relics has without doubt served to add much to our knowledge of military history, as a great deal can be gained by studying the artifacts of past wars and other countries. Yes collecting  militaria is, undoubtedly, one of the most interesting and historically important of all of the collecting hobbies. Size: 9"x12", over 580 large color and B/W photographs, 368 pages.
