Qualification Badges reference books?

[Zeller]

I've slowly started collecting qualification badges and I was wondering if anybody could suggest me a couple of valid reference books for makers, models,etc (i.e. something like the Nash and Angolia books are for buckles).
I am mainly interested in IAB,GAB,PAB,CCC,WB
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Frank H's book on GAB's is a must for any collector, follow the below link money well spent in my and most probably every badge collectors opinion.

Hi Dannie, thanks for the hint! I will start saving money for that one, it looks like a very good book. Anything for IAB as well?

If you are willing to wait a few months several folks on this very forum are at this moment creating masterpieces themselves. Topics for future releases in that same format are : Flak badges, PABs, CCC's, RK's, Arm Shields etc.

Hi again,

Your very welcome, with regards IAB's I can recommend the folllowing German book. Unfortunatley I do not read German, but for me it is still a good buy as it has excellent pictures and all badge weights and measurements and excellent pictures.

The author has also done books on the minesweepers badge and also the Krim shield (I have this on order) they are all available from Amazon Germany.

Following are the book covers.

all the best, Dannie.

Detlev Niemann's "price guide" will also give you an overview of all kinds of medals and bagdes.
