I'm in the process of composing a basic guide in MS Word for Army saber collecting. Both identification of reproduction peices and legitimate examples, commonality, odd configurated sabers, hilt composition, basic repairs and maintenance, etc. When i'm finished with it, anyone who would be interested in a copy i will email one to. You'll just need Microsoft Word the view it. Perhaps I'll alos put it in PDF format as well. If anyone has any strange TR or Weimar era Army examples, and would allow me to put a photo or two in the guide, please email me. Of course, any use of a photo of someone elses sword would be credited as such (screen name, fake name, real name..up to you). Those interested in receiving a copy of it, just email me as i'll put together a mailing group and send it out to those collectors all at the same time when complete.

I should also add that my undertaking is not for profit nor is it intended to compete with authors books. Just a short collectors guide and to address some points not discussed in the various big name publications.
Danke and good collecting my friends.
