    A guide to collecting German Militaria. (Soft back/magazine)

    I spotted this on Youtube recently and so I ordered myself a copy off Amazon. It arrived today and from what I've seen of it so far by flicking through it, for what it is, it looks ok, for the price.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It mention in it anywhere that there are hordes of reproductions of Nazi/Wehrmacht stuff? Just curious.

    That would be good to have if it does!
    I'll buy pretty much anything I think I can make money on...but just assume anything Nazi is fake and move on down the road.
    A quick and dirty guide would be handy.

    It does state on the front cover "Spotting Fakes" and this is mentioned within the first minute of the video.

    Having a quick look at the Iron cross section, it does give a few "pointers" at spotting fake Iron Crosses. However anyone hoping for a detailed analysis on the subject of fake Iron crosses will, I suspect, be disappointed because the entire publication stands at only 130 pages and it aims to profile the entire subject of collecting Germanicon militaria, not solely of collecting Iron Crosses.
