"FELDZUG 1916 VOL. 3" IMPERIAL GERMAN WW1 STAHLHELM CAP BELT MASK REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The famous German chancellor Otto Von Bismarck once stated: "The great questions of the day will not be settled by the mandates of majorities, but by blood and iron". Imperial German troops of WW1 were issued steel helmets, brow plates, and gas masks for combat in the trenches on the Western Front. Those pieces have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Michael Baldwin to write another authoritative reference book on the subject in 2014. This "FELDZUG 1916 VOL. 3" IMPERIAL GERMAN WW1 STAHLHELM CAP BELT MASK REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts elegantly illustrated hardcovers, and sports 199 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of wool service tunics, feldmützes, and shoulder straps, all kinds of leather, steel, and felt pickelhaubes, several pickelhaube covers, M-1916 steel helmets and brow plates, leather belts and state buckles, gas masks, trench clubs, fighting knives, weaponry, and many other well presented Imperial German collectibles of WW1.
