On 408 pages the author Ralf Siegert describes the SA and NSKK Daggers in depth with a special viewpoint on manufacturing and the multiple markings used during the time frame from 1933 until 1942. A highly useful compendium for the dagger collector and a perfect addition to Ralf's first book "The Service Daggers of the SS".

The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II is the 2nd edition to the first printing more than 11 years ago. It is a complete book on the Close Combat Clasp, including every individual clasp maker and all their variants. No unique die characteristic or reverse hardware setup change was too small; each has been categorized and examined in great detail along with an explanation of what sets that variant apart from other clasps. Several "Quick Reference Charts" have been added to all chapters for quick and easy identification of each maker and each clasp variant. This will be a big help in sorting out the many variations of AGMuK clasps, among others. This 2nd edition is 464 pages and includes all the information from the first book, along with all the additional maker variants. A large and extensive chapter on the Golden Presentation Close Combat Clasp is also included, with several examples of each pattern being shown, along with their respective cases. There are many nice groupings in the book, but also Award Documents have been broken out separately and given their own chapter which will make them easier to identify and search. Cartons, packets and cellophane bags have also been shown in a separate chapter with all the variations found with each example, and what sets them apart from reproductions. And last but not least, a full chapter on all the most recent and dangerous fakes on the market. More than 11 years have past since the first printing and unfortunately the fakes have gotten better and harder to detect so I feel a dedicated chapter on the best reproductions to date is an important aspect to any collector book. Over 460 pages and 1,350 high quality, color images in 7" x 9.5" format.

This is the most comprehensive and detailed book written about the German Luftwaffe Pilot and Combined Pilot and Observer Badges of WW2. Exhaustive research led to all variations to be presented. The result is a beautiful box set with two volumes and a total of 620 pages. All pictures are high quality and large enough to show every detail of an original. Pilot Badges are quite large and the book reflects this by its size of 8x10 inches, which allows for larger pictures, as well as more room for descriptive text. The contents of each volume are attached to provide you with what is included: 

Introduction of the Luftwaffe, training in the Luftwaffe, and award regulations. All Chapters begin with a full descriptive spreadsheet with all data and each variation is covered with high quality pictures. In depth study of all three types of the Pilot and Observer Badges with Diamonds. 52 award cases of the most common and rare examples, followed by all matching awards. The best cloth and bullion  groups ever shown with in depth study. Awards certificates, miniatures, post-war Souval and S&L badges. Presentation of the most common and dangerous reproductions. Many pictures of the badges in wear.

Both volumes are printed on quality paper and all come in a strong and rigid protective slip case.

In his latest book author Antonio Scapini discusses and explores the famous Totenkopfring of the SS in never before achieved depth and clarity. From the conception of the ring, the regulations, the material, the construction the topic is handled with the usual depth of the author and B&D Publishing books. Especially the whole procedure of the construction is finally resolved and explained. The final chapter by Fabio Stone Bet explaines the background and meaning of the runes in extreme depth. The book has 288 pages and over 1000 photos, mainly in color.
