Hello everybody!
After a long time of work my book "Deutsche Fertigungskennzeichen bis 1945" about the secret German manufacturer codes up to 1945 is finished.
Maybe someone is interested in it.
Although this topic has been dealt with before, the extent and utility of previous treatments has not been complete in the existing literature. My new book, resulting from long term research, will serve all collectors and military historians as a primary reference for identifying the manufacturers on weapons, ammunition and every kind of military equipment (clothes, pouches, helmets, medals and so on).
The book has more than 500 pages, is sorted in two ways (after codes and after company-names), contains all military code systems (early abbreviations, number-codes, letter-codes, LDO-numbers for medals & insignias and the RZM-numbers for NSDAP- & SS-equipment). I have also added about three pages with identified codes following "ozz" (like "swj" for Steyr and so on). There are many mistakes in names and addresses in the old lists. I have check EVERY name and address, so I hope to have limited the mistakes to the minimum.
The text-part is written in German and English language.
It's very important to know the background and the development of the code systems. I have found many original documents in archives to reproduce the way of the development step by step.
There is no commercial distribution planned to dealers outside Germany, so if someone might be interested, I can only send books from me. It's not a business, just a hobby.
The price is 30,- EUR in Germany incl. shipping.
In Europe it's 35,- EUR incl. shipping.
To the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan it's 63 USD by airmail incl. shipping.
With best wishes from Germany

Hi Michael
I think what you had done is a true labor of love as with most of the authors in such field. I believed your book would be the standard reference on this subject

Hello,
many thanks for the kind words!
Well, it took me seven years of research to finish that book ... and also it took a long time to find a publisher. Now I'm trying to make my book known, because the publisher is not doing any advertisement. I'm not doing it for business and there is no chance to earn money with it, but it's a hobby and good feeling to have an own book
If someone is interested, I can also sign the books ... (for free of course).
With best wishes from Germany
Michael

Hi everybody!
I just want to let you know that my publisher has printed new books. It wasn't easy because there is not much money to earn, but finally they agreed to make a second print run. Please note that it's not a second edition. The content is unchanged.
If someone couldn't get one during the past month because it was sold out ... please feel free to contact me. It's available again.
Price is still the same (63 USD by airmail incl. postage on your own risk or 66 USD for a registered and insured airmail-package).
With best wishes
