Are there any info. books on enamels

[Herr Haggard]

Hi!! I am new to this forum. I can't afford collecting firearms anymore other than the few I lucked into. Are there any books on the collecting of enamel pins. What the reverse markings mean? How to tell fakes? Is there a catalog of pins manufactured? Right now I just have a few that I liked their looks and understand what they say on the obverse. I would like to make more informed purchasing decisions. Thanks.

huskens catalogue is probably the most concise ,also theres a book in the states on the nsdap badge , christopher Ailsbys book "collecting German medals" gives a run down on rzm marks and the manufacturers names , the best source is by searching this forum - a positive wealth of info

Also try Michael F. Tucker's book ( NSDAP Enamel ) for a guide to Party membership badges. And Terry is right you can't find a better place then this forum for a research base.
