In a word, the images are stunning. They are leagues beyond anything collectors need for identification purposes, and like the book's qualities overall rise to the level of fine art.

Synopsis
A sumptuous collection of nearly 100 German military edged weapons, predominantly swords and daggers, are displayed in close-up detail, together with information on what is known about their owners., Legacies in Steel is focused on historical edged weapons of the German military from 1800 to 1990. Nearly 100 examples have been carefully selected from some of the most important private collections in the world as well as German museums, the largest compendium of personalized edged weapons published to date. Through the photographic lens, details of these elegant and beautiful objects are featured.Many of these edged weapons belonged to nobility, aristocrats, high-ranking military personnel as well as soldiers and seamen. Where possible, the careers and courageous exploits of the former owners are highlighted. An appreciation of this historical context transforms what is a beautiful and sublimely crafted artifact in its own right, into a portal to the past by putting a face to an otherwise inanimate object.Swords and daggers, although having long outlived their utility as effective fighting weapons, maintained their popularity in Western Europe as uniform regalia and this reached its zenith in the 19th through mid -20th centuries. They were carried with great pride as a symbol of authority, organizational and social distinction, achievement and most importantly, honor. These weapons were produced with great skill and at high cost during the heyday of German edged weapon production. They required extensive handwork by many specialized and highly skilled artisans, often using precious metals and ivory, elaborate hand engraving and chiseling. Blades were fabricated of the highest quality Solingen steel. Folded steel Damascus blades were also painstakingly and selectively produced. Many examples are unique and border on singular works of art.The authors are dedicated to preserving not only these beautiful historical artifacts but equally important, the legacy and honor of each of the original owners. This beautifully presented book with stunning close-up photography of the weapons will be a lasting record of these extraordinary objects., A sumptuous collection of nearly 100 German military edged weapons, predominantly swords and daggers, are displayed in close-up detail, together with information on what is known about their owners.

Books are sealed, padded, and boxed. Orders are handled quickly and efficiently. Communication has been a real pleasure. I will be back, again and again. When I go book shopping, I'll stop by forthehistorian, first. They make me WANT to do business with them - they make it a real pleasure. Thanks. :)Osprey New Vanguard 243: South African Armour of the Border War 1975-89 (Nr. 156145749938)
