Firstly, this is a large, and HEAVY book, full of very useful information on the title subject. A history of the evolution of the pickelhaube and other types of Imperial German Army headgear is included, as well as valuable detail on each item photographed in the book.My only complaint is that the quality of the photography, so important in a reference source such as this, leaves much to be desired. While some photos are of excellent quality, many, too many, are not. To me, many appear to be not professionally done, lacking the correct lighting, and crystal clear focus needed to study this headgear.To see how it should be done, one only has to view another Schiffer volume; " Head Dress of Imperial Germany", by Paul Sanders. While light on text, the photos are superb in this book. I actually believe that these books can compliment one another, and prove very valuable for serious collectors.
Covers all the German Officer spiked helmets -great reference with nice big color pics. If you collect WW1 German -buy this book
