Dear fellow collectors!
Let me –please- introduce and promote the brand new SA-dagger reference book written by Ralf Siegert, the owner of the already well known site www.dienstdolch.de.
Several pages out of this book can also be looked at on this site. Although this book is written in German language, due to it´s high pictorial content and it´s clear and disposition it is informative and easily understandable also for the non German speaking collector.
Obviously due to relative high shipping costs the current (actual changing rate) price (including shipping to USA or Canada or comparable range) is 127,00 USD or 95 EUR.
In my opinion (and I have ordered and read this book already) it´s worth every penny.
The author can be reached (also for ordering) per mail: ralfzx7r@web.de
Paypal is fine (please add 4%), paypal account is also ralfzx7r@web.de
Or by bank money transaction to bank: Volksbank Wiesloch/Germany, account number: 23227908 ,
routing number: 67292200.
If you order it I wish you much pleasure with this imo really fine reference book.
Regards,

Look nice will see about ordering one, thanks
Hey "Vintagetimenow" aka John M. look like another Herder bag huh!!!!!!!!! Bret Van Sant

Thanks for the info, I'm getting it, whatever the cost.

Been waiting for Wittmann's SA book for 5 years now and there doesn't seem that it is going to be ready in a near future.

The book is of interes,but i see the web side is in german.I do not speek or read german,so i guess this book will not be bought.

if it is in english i will be happy to know it

Hello gus.

I have mailed a littlebith with Ralf,If u are interested in the new book in English he needa atleast 200 orders.
hope we can make that happend.

That should be very easy to do, I'm certain that we will even get more than 200.
How do we proceed ?

I'd be interested in one in English . . . ~ Ian

Already bought one and I will get it in a couple of days. From what I have seen on Ralph site it looks really good...

one more think.... it is only 500 for sale (limited edition) - do not waste Your chance to have one :-)

I'd go for one in English.

One English for me too when its available

LH

I would buy one in english!

This starts good

I got a new mail and he says that he needs atleast 200,and pay up front(for printing)

I am willing to do so,i dont think he is up for any scams

I asked him in the new mail naw if we should send him a mail,so when he gots 200 or more mails he send us a pay info mail.

Does this sounds good or are i loooooooooooooost now

Pushed wrong icon

I'd be in for an English copy

I'd buy one in ENglish also.

Hello collecting tank, thanks for your interest. The production of the book costs more than 10,000 €. I need more than 200 orders. Pay before printing. To manage is very difficult.

regards Ralf

Another possibility would be to find an American publisher who buys the rights at this book and drives it out then?

Regards Ralf

I would buy an English version.

From Ralfs reply above I doubt there will be an English version regardless of apparent demand.Its a pity some market research wasnt done before committing to print but thats water under the bridge now.With only 500 German language copies they wont last long.Look at the quality of the pages shown throughout Ralf's site.As a coffee table book its 300 odd pages of pure eye candy let alone the info which even I with my 40 year old highschool Deutsch can understand to some extent.I eagerly await the arrival of my copy

Add me for an English version if they become available.

I've just ordered the book and can't wait to see it, especially if I've noticed that few of my toys are there as well

BTW. Any news on Wittmann's vol.V? (rhetorical question )

I decided that pictures are worth thousands of words in English, too.

So, I ordered a book as well. If an English version ever surfaces, I will get that too.

In anticipation,

John

I got the book last week. It is very well done, many wonderfull pictures (all in color) and good texts too. Great overall contribution to the hobby!

One negative point though: I have noticed that some of my pictures (of rare SA makersmarks), that I had posted on GDC over the years, are published in the book... Never got contacted to ask if I would permit this... so copywrite-wise this is not ok.

I also noticed that Mike's MCSARR and Fisher's production figures per maker of SA's are integrated in this new book, I hope that the author has consulted them about this before publishing...

Best greetings,

Herman

The good news Herman, is that you'll NOW be able to sell your SA dagger at a premium price, since it is now pictured in a reference book.

Hello Herrmann,
I got one of the trademarks here skillfully by members from the forum. But I thanked you also in the book. I have the forum: Germandaggers.com in my book mentions. I did not want to injure Copyrigth. The rarity regulations of the trademarks, originate not from Fisher or from Mike Mc Alvanah, but from my friend SAM Edstrom ( NAKIDATRADING )from Sweden. It has also a list. It has me permits its list to use.

Greeting Ralf

Received today....

VERY NICE AND INTERESTING BOOK !!!!
