Gordon Williamson has written some very good books and there are some quality publications from here: B&D Publishing.
However, an all round book that encompasses everything is non existant, it quite simply would be impossible and it would be huge! Books also get dated as new information and theories come to light. The best place to keep up to speed with everything is on a forum such as this, old material for reference, new material added daily and the whole collecting field in one place.
That's not to put you off buying books though, you can learn an awful lot from them!

Hi Rory, I now think I should have bought at least one of them, but c'est la vie. But these were twice the price then of most war bagdes.

Adrian's comments I wholeheartedly agree with.

Cheers, Ade.

A smart phone or ipad thing is worth bearing in mind too. If you go to a militaria fair for example and take one of those items, you can access the forum on the hoof and look up any potential purchases, take photos and post them while you're there for opinions!

I have purchased my collection from members of this forum. I found they are honest and fair when it comes to price! If you are looking for something specific you may want to ask around or post to get a reply. I trust this and people that have been on here a while much more than Ioffer or auction.com. Plus you can also get some history behind the piece!!!

This is a good place to buy items, I've done it too and have been very happy with what I've received.

Pawel Nowak is a notorious con man in the world of miliary antiques, I was even aware of his existence before I joined this forum but I have heard a lot more stories about him since joining. Be careful of that one he goes by many names and will go out of his way to con people out of their money.
