[Ludwig]

Looks great!

[Dietrich Maerz]

Volume II of the series is now available at a pre-publication price. The books are printed and on the boat. Availability will be mid of August. Take advantage of the reduced price.
Also, Vol. I and II is now available as a set. If you don't own Volume I this is the best buy. However, availability is limited since Volume I is close to being sold out.

Looks great Dietrich, congrats on another great reference book addition to our hobby.

Putting my pre-order in now, I really enjoyed Volume I and use it more often then I thought I would.

Looks like a job well done, congratulations!

[Antonio Scapini]

Indeed a very good reference work Dietrich!

Looks like another great book. Just curious though why the "Spanish Cross" has now become the "Spain Cross". As far as I know both are correct translations for "Spanienkreuz".

The correct translation of the Spanien Kreuz is Spain Cross. Spanish Cross might be accepted in collector circles and that is perfectly fine. Howevere, I personally think that books, which have a far longer life span and a greater obligation, should be correct. Spanish Cross would be Spanisches Kreuz in German and that is just wrong and has a complete different meaning.
But it is still the same medal!

Hi guys,

Just received my copy, what an impressive work. Very well done and complete, as I have come to expect from B&D. All the sections are great, but I was really impressed with the chapters on the Campaign Shields; just chock full of information and criteria that I was not aware of and enjoyed learning about.

I also really like the section in the back under "Manufacturers" where it lists every known badge, award, shield etc that was produced by each maker, along with a sample of maker marks. VERY helpful to forensic collectors like myself and I can see this section becoming a "standard" addition to books in the future.

Well done Dietrich, congrats on another fine addition to your already long and accomplished list of works.

It´s not a medal! It´s a cross/badge!
(sorry, Dietrich, I just couldn´t resist! )
