I have also had a copy of this publication a week or so now, and it is a great little book showing these 1.st pattern prototypes.
As Dave and Texasuberalles have said, the books info need to be discussed further.
Is there an agenda?
In my opinion it does look like an honest start at a discussion of prototype SS daggers which to my knowledge has not been published or "opened up" before.
Interesting.
