I've decided to start collecting SA and Heer Daggers. The mantra of the forum is always research before you buy. I've been trying to search old threads to get an idea but wanted some advice. What reference books would you recomend?
Here are some titles I've picked off some old threads to help.
- Atwood, J.P. : The daggers & Edged weapons of Hitler's Germany
- Bowmann, J.A. : Third Reich daggers 1933-1945
- Glemser, Kurt : A Guide to Military Dress Daggers, Volumes I - IV
- Fisher, R. : NS dagger maker trademarks, Fisher quick reference
- Johnson, Thomas : collecting the edged weapons of the Third Reich (8 volumes + an index one)
- Leslie, D.; Raidl, Richard : a reference on daggers & dress bayonets
- Lubbe, Klaus : Deutsche Seitengewehre und Bajonette 1740-1945 (German sidearms & bayonets 1740-1945)
- Stephens Frederick J. : Reproduction, Recognition
- Stephens Frederick J. : Daggers, swords and bayonets of the Third Reich
- Techet, Wayne H. : German Etched Dress Bayonets
- Walker, Gary; Weinand, Ron : German Clamshells and other Bayonets
- Walker, Gary; Weinand, Ron : NPEA Daggers and Associated Knives
- Weehler, George T. : Seitengewehr : History of The German Bayonet 1919-1945
- Wittmann, Thomas : exploring the dress daggers of the German army volume 1
If you had to pick the top 4 for Heer and SA collecting what would they be?
thanks
