Hi fellow collectors,

Have been collecting daggers in excess of 10 years, and have picked up a sword or two along the way. To be honest I have done absolutely ZERO research before I purchased the swords. Just bought them when the price seemed right, or I simply just liked them. We are talking Solingen made sword, both 3rd reich, but I also recently picked up a super nice Bolivian ww2 era sword. Not marked but 100% solingen made when compared to other 3rd reich swords. Can anybody advise me on which books I should get concerning Solingen produced swords, both 3rd reich but also international market productions. Is there a book with all models available??

Thanks in advance,

Peter Jan Kwakernaak

There is a book on South American countries (compiled from Eickhorn Catalogs.) OK quality. For sale on e-bay
But the other Countries have not been printed..
Original catalogs from Eickhorn are for sale on E-bay.. But only what was left in stock..
There is complete collection from company files for all Countries in private collection India, Iran, Africa, Latvia, Poland, England, Estonia China ! etc. etc.
If looking for Imperial The Weyersberg WKC reprint is Great....
Johnson, Angola books etc...

Peter I would start with this book. Look around because you might be able to find it cheaper.
