THE KNIGHTS CROSS OF THE IRON CROSS

Description: By Dietrich Maerz. With the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross (and its higher grades) Dietrich Maerz takes military collection reference works to an entirely new level. An engineer by trade, the author utilizes two major aspects of his profession - logic and attention to detail - to present the reader with a valuable and almost infallible reference volume. The combination of reason with the most detailed graphics ever presented in a militaria reference book make this volume a truly groundbreaking work. If you are considering purchasing a Knights Cross (or a higher grade), this book is the next best thing to having an experienced expert at your side as you consider your various choices. And if you are not thinking of buying a Knights Cross (or a higher grade)but are interested in the award, this book will tell you everything you could ever want to know. The book covers in depth all licensed makers of the Knights Cross, the Oakleaves, the Oakleaves with Swords and the Grandcross, as well as the makers of the "Diamonds" and the "Golden Diamonds". Additional chapters discuss the different cases and documents for these high awards. Discussions about the LDO, the Präsidialkanzlei, fakes and the immediate post-war activities round up the picture. The appendix provides the reader with manufacturer data, award graphs and other helpfull information. with over 500 pictures, the majority in color. Smythe sewn case bound, book cover with black premium cloth, full color dustjacket. 430 pp. All dust jackets for hardcover books are protected with clear plastic, fully removalbe covers. These will protect the dust jacket forever, keeping it in new condition for the life of the book. These are especially handy for the large oversize books whose jackets easily get torn as you might have noticed when browsing in bookstores. These are not a permanent part of the jacket, if you don't like it you can easily remove it without damaging the jacket. I cover all hardcover books with these covers and there are so popular that many customers buy them from me to put on books in their own collection. All books are entirely in English unless noted otherwise. Winner pays $8.50 shipping within the US. I combine purchases and the rate goes way down after the first book purchased. International orders billed at cost. I will ship anywhere in the world. If you have any questions about payment options please contact me. I SHIP ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET. Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
