    Reference book - advice

    For those that have the following reference books please could you give your opinion on whether or not you feel they have been well worth the investment.
    They are both reasonably priced, what I want to hear is have they helped in determining originals from fakes.

    Both are by Mike Tucker

    Collecting Military Badges of the Third Reich

    German Combat Badges of the Third Reich

    best regards

    Hello


    I own both of the books and like them both. But there are mistakes in them (like in nearly any medal-book ).

      German Combat Badges of the Third Reich

      I have this one and I feel it is the best book ever put together on the subject. I would recommend this one. However, like Sven said, there are mistakes and fakes in it just like many books out there. You should be able to find a list of the suspected mistakes and fakes in the book as it has been posted on this forum in the past. I would still buy the book.

            Hi Tony

            I ordered them direct from Mike Tuckers site

            http://www.authenticmilitaria.com/

            Only problem is he does not take credit cards or paypal so you need to send a money order check. I am sending mine off tomorrow so hopefully it will eventually get over the pond. Postage was about $20 for the two books mentioned and an IAB

            If you were just after his latest book you might try getting it from:-

            http://www.winidorepress.com/

            I got that info from this forum. I expect you may be able to use a credit card and postage may be cheaper.

            If you do get the books the following link is likely to be useful :-

            http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ghlight=Tucker

            I believe It covers many of the errors in the book

            Hope that helps

            regards
