Product Description
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.

 Book on Detecting the Fake German Medals... May 31, 2010

This book has good information; But, It lacks the way to show the Fakes. The photos should be in colour and the Fakes should not be only the blurry cast ones. There are excellent reproductions that can pass as originals...But, the only way to detect them are they are smaller in size.
I do not find this book "Detecting the Fakes" a very Good book to really show, what to find in detecting Fakes. There are even foreign countries that are selling loads of fakes. Trying to claim that they were left behind by the Germans that had invaded their country.
I only found in the book explainations that would give you an idea of what to find in fakes. But, the photos and examples were extremely unacceptable.

This is a beginners book, it's a good starting point if someone is just beginning to get into collecting WW2 German military items. The book needs color pictues and more detail. There are SO many fake items the book doesnt cover, the book needs more deatil. I would recommend for someone just starting out collecting, and who doesnt know anything about identifying fakes.

Covers basic information on detecting fakes. If the pictures were in colour it would help a lot more as some fakes have different colours. Overall an alright book for beginners. There are a lot more higher quality fakes out there that this book doesnt cover.

Great tool for collectors. After the book I found out I had at least one fake. Great help when look for other pieces for the collection. Pictures and diagrams and explations what to look for is a must.
An excellent starting point June 5, 2001

Since there is no other book on the market which provides such essential basics to becoming a knowledgeable collector I rate this book very high. If you intend on getting into the fun of collecting Nazi era memorabilia this is the first book you should get your hands on. Don't buy anything until you read this book. Chances are if you take this book with you when your looking for Third Reich Militaria you will at least end up with an original and not a fake. Without this book it's buyer beware.
