Hello collectors! If someone is looking for a good book about the U.S. M3 / M3A1 “Grease Gun”, Schiffer Publishing has now published my English language edition and it is now available. The book tells the complete story of this remarkable weapon, from its development via manufacturing through to its...

Hello everybody, I have finished a new book. Maybe it's of interest for someone. This time it is not a book specifically about a particular weapon, but an overview of the SMG developments from the beginnings to 1945. The titel created by the publisher "from 1939" is unfortunately a bit misleading, b...

Hello, I just want to let you know that my publisher has now done a new print of my book. It was sold out, but today I got the big package from the printshop :-) These codes were used to cover the manufacturers names on weapons, ammunition and every other kind of military equipment like parts of air...

Hello everybody, I just want to let you know that I have written a new book: The Finnish Submachine Gun Suomi M/31 The "9,00 konepistooli M/31“, most often only tenderly called "Suomi", is one of the best known Finnish weapons of the Second World War. Till today it stands for perfect quality and hig...

Translating the book to English language is not the problem ... the problem is to find a publisher. In the past years I have contacted a lot of publishers in the US and Canada (Schiffer, CollectorGrade, etc.), but noone was interested in my codebook or the rifle-grenade book because of the "too spec...

Thanks

It was a long way to get this second edition done, but that's always the same problem with very special topics.

Hello everybody, I have good news for anybody who was interested in my sold-out book about German rifle grenades and launchers. After a long time of waiting, my publisher has now printed a second edition! Please note that the language is still German only. The book is now printed in much better qual...

Dear collectors, I just want to let you know that my rifle grenade book is nearly sold out now. Yesterday I got the last few ones from the publisher. So if someone is interested, it's probably the last chance. I do not know if the publisher will make a new print since the book sold very slow. Anyway...

The idea with a CD or DVD is good for the buyers, but not good for the seller. Today you sell one CD and tomorrow you will find it as a free download on a Russian or Caribbean file-sharing board. There is no copy-protection that can not be cracked today. That is the main problem. I have an agreement...

Hello guys, many thanks for the kind words about my books. That makes me happy :wnana: It's good to hear that the books are useful even if the language is Germany only. But there is something that I want to add concerning the language: The "tunnel vision" is a speciality of publishers .... and not o...

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. I have only two codebooks left (got them from a museum's shop). But that's all ...

But the rifle grenade book will not be sold out in the near future. It's a very special theme.
