From what I've hear, it's the first one for decades (or ever???) based on archive work... I'm really curious!

[gregM]

When is it available?

[Montgomery Burns]

(Luis Schneider is archive work to .)

but yes ,,I here fore some time now about this book, and rumours that documents where found that would clear some questions about the number of makers off 1813 crosses .

some clearance fore the ek1914 questions and so on .

wonder if it is throe ,,,

It is, Kay, it is. I think it should be availalble about March 2013, but I'm not sure if this is for both the English and the German version, or just for the latter.

Me too. I can't believe he found Blücher's Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross. That is a major discovery.

I am a little concerned that he shows only 17 core types, but this may be wartime types only. There are so many missing from this chart...

I guess we will just have to wait and see, but I for one am very excited!

I like these kind of reference books. They are fun to look at and I will
most definitely be getting a copy of this one---but I've found most to
be incomplete.

This forum and one on (that other site) have the best wealth
of knowledge that I know----PLUS you can ask a question and
most time receive an answer. Something books lack.

Me too. This is all so intriguing. I’m really looking forward to its release!
