You're no.1, carlos
All interested, please check the brand new webpage www.sadaggers.com to find more information about the english edition.

It is good to be #1,it would be nice,if that was written in the book

i also have it,in german.But dont understand german
Maybe i have to sell that one.

Fabulous!!! My wife just asked me what I wanted for Christmas and guess what I said? Hehe Im getting my copy for Christmas. Man I feel like a kid waiting for Santa Cheers, Raul

Those color pics of the blades being made make you wonder. If they are TR period and were colorized then thats fine but if they are modern pics then these guys making them can probably do it like during the TR. Things that make you go hmmmm. cheers, Raul

I have the original book and i was looking at buying the English one but with the present exchange rates this book would cost me nearly �100.

I bought one. You never can have too many books. Wonder if this is also a limited printing.

Bought mine today and looking forward to get it.

Same here. Pricey but appears to be one beautiful volume!

What do you do ? a lot of money, but what a wonderfull reference !!!!!

If one already has the German edition, then this is almost redundant... if I can try to make out the translations to my researched SS officer and his documents, then I can figure out what the German version of this great book has to say about SAs.

However, if you do not have this book, it is a must have for any SA or TR dagger collector.

Maybe my opinion will change once Tom Wittmann's SA book comes out, but this is a great reference book on its own.

Good luck with your translation, John. I can guarantee endless days of struggle with the German text and lot of problems with specialist terms
However, after doing this, your German will improve significantly.
If Wittmann's SA book comes out, it will not change much for passionate collectors. Most often we have more than one book covering the same subject. I have both English and German version of Ralf's book and I'm going to buy new Wittmann as soon as it turns out and I will buy any other good reference book on SA daggers that will be written in a future. To tell you more, I'm not crazy about dress bayonets, but I have 2 books about them, I have only 1 NPEA, but both Ron Weinand's books are on my shelf (and no, I'm not collecting books, just daggers). What I'm trying to say: 1 SA daggers book is good thing, 2 books are very good thing but 2 books plus GDC are GREAT thing

Just to clarify.

If you do not have this book in your collection then buy it. It is worth it and is very well produced.

If I did not already have the German version I would not have hesitated. As 777 intimates; you can never have enough reference data, it can save you a lot of grief and money and each publication/author approaches the subject from a different view point.

Yes it appears to be that. I am a medically retired peace officer! Fixed income. Selling lots of my books on Amazon.

Ordered it yesterday and it's on it's way can't wait paul

Because Ralf`s english is more worse then my school-english is, I will post here for him.

We are happy to hear that you enjoy our book, now finally in english translation.
Ralf likes to thank you all about your kind words regarding the book.
We hope that this reference will help some collectors in our mutual hobby.

Sven Georgi

I need some help because I am trying to purchase it via paypal but the link opens up in polish. What is the paypal email to purchase this? Thanks guys.

[email protected]
You can also contact the seller at the adress above.
It is very strange since it opens in english on my computer

Thanks for the info. My turn to get one. cheers, Raul

Yes! I bought it right now. This is definitely the book to own. This time the paypal link opened up in English. Thanks 777 for your help. Cheers and all the best, Raul

Ok I just checked my paypal account and it appears that the person I sent the money to is Adam Jaroszewicz. Who is this? Can anyone give me some info? Thanks.

It's the editor (myself).

Oh. cool. All this time I thought your name was 777 Sorry for all the questions Adam. I just wanted to make sure everything was ok. Cheers and all the best, Raul. Merry Christmas

P.S. How long will the shipping take and by what means?

The books are shipped with international priority parcel. Usually it takes 4-5 days within Europe and up to 2 weeks to US(sometimes faster), but considering CHRISTMAS time it's hard to guess how long it will take right now.
Anyway, I can guarantee that books are being sent on next (working) day after payment notification.

Looking forward to it--and a special Thanks! for the English version.

Thanks for this version I just can't wait for it to arrive. I feel like my kids in the days right before Christmas.

As it could be expected post has let us down - me and some of you, guys. I believed that at least europeans would be able to enjoy the book during holidays and did my best sending first books immediately.
At least Ralf received his copy today and he was very satisfied . Nevertheless, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

Wow!!! Great news

Dear Ross,

I`m interesting in your opinion about the book.

Regards
Sven Georgi

Did you correct the errors I had pointed out? Mike

According to contract no changes were possible unless approved by the author himself. So, some errors are corrected in english edition, but only those allowed by the author.

Mike:

i am very interested in the errors,possible to post here,or can you send me a mail?

Ralf had schown some maker marks, without the notice that those maker did not make SA`s, because he wanted to list all makers.
Regarding to Mike that was corrected in the english translation

regards
Sven Georgi

Thanks

Talking about correcting the errors: there is correct maker (7/66 Eickhorn) of chained Marine SA dagger now (p.245)
