New Reference Book for HJ Knives

[kriegsmodell]

Just saw this earlier this AM. The Collector's Guide to Hitler Youth Knives by Nathan Hogle of Lakesidetrader. A two volume set. Did not know this was being written nor did I ever see any request for information or contributions.

quite expensive. Does it really bring us new material?

That of course is the big question. And apparently no way of knowing without having a set in hand to review .....

@Kriegsmodell.

I heard it half a year ago from a guy I know, who wrote the book Heeres Dolche..

That dagger collecting community knows each other and who to ask for information.

Little disappointed that a was just 1 week to late, otherwise my mint Wingen would also have been published..
I sended pics, but the concept was allready made :-(

I dont know the information inside is good, but I might buy it sometime.

I would be particularly interested in how he handles the issue of the DJ/BDM knives - if indeed he has. He has sold a number of these in the past and I do remember him eventually taking a neutral position on them before apparently later reversing that position.

According to the author these books do not cover the DJ/BDM knives. Same for foreign youth, HJ "Honor" knives, bayonets, etc. He indicated that these items may be covered in an additional volume at a later date.
