This four-volume set by Thomas M Johnson, a leading collector and
authoritative researcher, has been compiled to serve as a useful and
authoritative reference on the daggers of Nazi Germany, and have 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 basic
patterns. Also, the Series 1s 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 it adds a whole
new dimension to this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books
one will see coverage of the historical background; the manufacturing
techniques; constructional information; the actual basic patterns; variations
and rarities; the art of collecting; and a whole host of other salient facts of
absorbing interest. Volume 1 covers Army, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine.
This boxed set presents all four volumes together at a bargain price of
£200.00
