R10005 Seitengewehr: History of The German Bayonet 1919-1945
By George T. Wheeler
Contains full information on Weimar and Nazi bayonets as well as their accompanying knots and frogs. This book illustrates re-issued German and foreign bayonets utilized by both the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht, and details the progression of newly manufactured bayonets produced after Hitler's rise to power. Photographs illustrate rarely seen bayonets worn by the Polizei, Reichsbahn, Postschutz, Hitler Jugend, and other civil and political organizations. German modified bayonets from Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Poland, and other occupied countries are pictured and described. A color photograph section sorts out the confusion clouding bayonet knots. This book clears up the controversy that surrounds the Justizbeamte, HJ and Feldjager Seitengewehre; and it shows how to detect fakes. Contains an up-to-date price guide which gives current valuation of various Imperial, Weimar, and Nazi bayonets.
