This discussion ist not really fair to Ralf Siegerts work. Because it`s based on the "high" price of the book. And maybe the translation is not PERFECT which also was not done and controlled by Ralf Siegert.The book itself is an really nice job! This reference is the best in SA-daggers avaiable and is a must for an 3rd Reich dagger collector.
And as noted in this thread -Yes Tom Johnson knows 100% for what kind of book his Name is good for! FOR THIS ONE -IT IS!
So many people all over the world asked
for an english volume. Now an collector had investet a lot of money and time in getting the rights and do the translation for the collector community. Expensive or not, it`s an offer for those who can`t read the German original.

In my opinion it is one of the best References regarding to 3rd Reich daggers ever written. Thats what is important.

as Tom Johnson use to say:
"...the story is really theirs to tell" now we will do...
