Dear fellow collectors! Let me �please- introduce and promote the brand new SA-dagger reference book written by Ralf Siegert, the owner of the already well known site www.dienstdolch.de. Several pages out of this book can also be looked at on this site. Although this book is written in German language, due to it�s high pictorial content and it�s clear and disposition it is informative and easily understandable also for the non German speaking collector. Obviously due to relative high shipping costs the current (actual changing rate) price (including shipping to USA or Canada or comparable range) is 127,00 USD or 95 EUR. In my opinion (and I have ordered and read this book already) it�s worth every penny. The author can be reached (also for ordering) per mail: [email protected] Paypal is fine (please add 4%), paypal account is also [email protected] Or by bank money transaction to bank: Volksbank Wiesloch/Germany, account number: 23227908 , routing number: 67292200. If you order it I wish you much pleasure with this imo really fine reference book. Regards,
wotan, gd.c-b#105

Thanks for the info, I'm getting it, whatever the cost. Been waiting for Wittmann's SA book for 5 years now and there doesn't seem that it is going to be ready in a near future.

That should be very easy to do, I'm certain that we will even get more than 200. How do we proceed ?

Hello collecting tank, thanks for your interest. The production of the book costs more than 10,000 �. I need more than 200 orders. Pay before printing. To manage is very difficult.
regards Ralf

Another possibility would be to find an American publisher who buys the rights at this book and drives it out then?

From Ralfs reply above I doubt there will be an English version regardless of apparent demand.Its a pity some market research wasnt done before committing to print but thats water under the bridge now.With only 500 German language copies they wont last long.Look at the quality of the pages shown throughout Ralf's site.As a coffee table book its 300 odd pages of pure eye candy let alone the info which even I with my 40 year old highschool Deutsch can understand to some extent.I eagerly await the arrival of my copy

I've just ordered the book and can't wait to see it, especially if I've noticed that few of my toys are there as well BTW. Any news on Wittmann's vol.V? (rhetorical question )

I decided that pictures are worth thousands of words in English, too.
So, I ordered a book as well. If an English version ever surfaces, I will get that too.
In anticipation,
John

I got the book last week. It is very well done, many wonderfull pictures (all in color) and good texts too. Great overall contribution to the hobby!
One negative point though: I have noticed that some of my pictures (of rare SA makersmarks), that I had posted on GDC over the years, are published in the book... Never got contacted to ask if I would permit this... so copywrite-wise this is not ok.
I also noticed that Mike's MCSARR and Fisher's production figures per maker of SA's are integrated in this new book, I hope that the author has consulted them about this before publishing...
Best greetings,
Herman
You never have enough HJ-knifes!

The good news Herman, is that you'll NOW be able to sell your SA dagger at a premium price, since it is now pictured in a reference book.

Hello Herrmann, I got one of the trademarks here skillfully by members from the forum. But I thanked you also in the book. I have the forum: Germandaggers.com in my book mentions. I did not want to injure Copyrigth. The rarity regulations of the trademarks, originate not from Fisher or from Mike Mc Alvanah, but from my friend SAM Edstrom ( NAKIDATRADING )from Sweden. It has also a list. It has me permits its list to use.
Greeting Ralf

Hello Ralf! Is a new edition already in view.? The book is truthfully an eye width, and from there the language rather secondary. Best greetings N.S. Search always Suhler of Dolche
