Detecting the Fakes: A Collector's Guide to Third Reich Militaria

By Robin Lumsden and Robin Lumsedn

Heavy demand has created an international market in fake Third Reich uniforms, equipment and decorations. In this unique volume, over 200 photographs display several hundred fakes side-by-side with the authentic originals. Both are described in meticulous detail, making for two reference books in one. The author has drawn upon Scotland Yard forensic techniques to wage a 20-year battle against counterfeiters of Third Reich memorabilia, some of them exhibiting almost unbelievable ingenuity. Not readily available in the United States for a number of years, this is a solid work for the serious military collector and enthusiast that has also proven to be very popular with general readers.
