New book on German combat knives

[Richie B]

Just got hold of a copy of this book and thought it would be of interest to other members.

German Combat Knives 1914-1945

Contains over 140 pictures in colour and black and white. The knife photos are in colour and there are also good quality black and white period photos showing the knives worn by German soldiers.

Written by Christian Mery who is well known in the bayonet collecting world.

Paperback: 80 pages. Publisher: Histoire and Collections (February 2012)
Language: English. ISBN-10: 2352502276. ISBN-13: 978-2352502272.

The price ... IMO a bargain at £14.95.

I'm not the author by the way, just a satisfied purchaser.

Thoroughly recommended.

Hello,
Thank you Richie for this thread. I know the author and i have to say that this book is quite good. A nice "small" guide to german combat knifes from a very knowledgeable person. A very good investment for who is interested in this matter. Some great period photos showing knifes carried....

Christian Mery is also a collector who helps other authors when needed. He provided me some nice and rare bayonets for one of my articles published in France.

Thanks again Richie.
