One of the most recent additions to my personal library is German Helmets by my friend Jan Meland. This comprehensive book describes the German helmets as used in world war one and world war two in all its details. This book is a great reference for starting or advanced collectors; next to the basic helmet knowledge it dives deep into different decals, the differences between the makers and application. The helmets pictured are most if not all sourced by the author in Norway. The book is in new condition and has only been opened to photograph it. I have a limited amount of examples which are signed on the first page by the author, as long as they last. I have 10 pieces available, The book is a A4 sized hardcover in the English language with 234 pages and more then 1450 clear pictures surely to soothe the need of any novice or advanced collector looking to expand his or her library! This is a must have for any helmet collector!

Extensive grouping to Generalleutnant Heinrich Nickel. The grouping is a vast collection of over 100 maps, photographs and personal memorabilia to his wartime experiences. The grouping has a large number of maps which most were drawn into by Nickel with dates, tactical and unit markings. There are maps from world war one, when he served as a Leutnant. There are a large number of maps of the 1940 campaign and the eastern front, which are mostly drawn into with dates, tactical and unit markings. This is a true goldmine for a historian or collector; these maps are a testimony to the battles fought and a direct source for detailed information.

Next to the maps there are two personal kit boxes, a number of unit made ashtrays with interesting motives, his first ánd second world war Erkennungsmarke, his double claw belt and a map containing a large number of mostly unpublished photographs.

This is a great grouping for any serious collector or historian and would be very hard to upgrade!

Please note; shipping outside Europe should be considered expensive; it would take several boxes and most probably cost 250 euro and will be charged after. Pickup is preferred, can be delivered to most BENELUX militaria fairs.
