This book provides an in-depth study of the many ornate military edged weapons of WWI, as well as civilan and government daggers and swords of the Imperial era. Also contains a complete chapter on the Imperial Hirschfanger and an intense study of WWI close combat and trench knives. Volume I is intended to be the introductory reference of a series similar to the highly successful Collecting the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich 8-volume set by LTC Thomas M. Johnson. Dust jacket, 12 page color section.
This three volume set by Thomas M. Johnson, a leading collector and authoritative researcher, has been compiled to serve as a useful and authoritative reference on the daggers of Nazi Germany, and have been designed to aid not only the beginning collector, but also the seasoned advanced collector and specialist. These volumes are the result of many years of arduous research conducted on both sides of the Atlantic, and are a scholarly study that is more than a perfunctory annotation and illustration of the known basic patterns. Also, the series is a study of a culture and the crafts that actually produced the blades, as well as being a manual in the art of collecting them. The embracing scope is both educational and recreational and it adds a whole new dimension to this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books one will see coverage of the historical background; the manufacturing techniques; constructional information; the actual basic patterns; variations and rarities; the art of collecting, and a whole host of other salient facts of absorbing interest.
