Keep us updated on the quality. How many issues a year and how big is it?
I tread carefully with magazines (as well as any printed reference materials) as I want to know if the contributing authors are experienced.
If the quality is good, please add to our forum reference library. Section linked below

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Andy Saunders & Robin Schäfer are the editors. Some contributors include John Vasco, Jan Fast (who I just realized is a member here), Dr. Niklas Napp, Dr. Marco Sigg, Dr. Bruce Gudmundsson, & Dr. Immanuel Voigt.
It's a quarterly magazine and the page count runs around 130 pages. From what I have seen thus far the collector advice is very surface level. For example, in the article about the 1914 Iron Cross Class 2, the author mentioned marker marked examples were "verleihsüke" (award pieces) & unmarked examples were "ersatzstück" (replacement pieces) as well as awarded crosses should have .800 silver frames. It also mentioned the boxes for cased examples are often repro's & fantasy pieces. I personally view the "general collecting advice" section as almost a "neat facts" or "tidbits" section. Reference books & forums like this one are definitely superior.
