Hello everyone, I was looking for a helpful Nazi Medals&Decorations guide. Including their rareity and prices. I found “Adrian Forman”. He seems he is the best author for this. But I honestly don’t know which book of Him I should but. There are literally zero changes to find any kinda Nazi collection books in my country, Turkey. So I will order from e-bay or Amazon for a crushing price. It means I will only buy one book. Which one should I? What is your suggestion? Is “Forman's Guide to Third Reich German Awards and Their Values 3rd edition” Good idea? That book is 20 years old. Is it still useful? Please inform me. Thank you all.
Your best option for up to date values is to just watch dealers and forum e-stands such as Wehrmacht Awards and that way you can see what sells and what doesn't when it comes to asking prices.
Maybe you need access to as many books as possible, one book may give you a biased view. Then I guess you need to surf the 'net' for auctions or collectors so you can build up your knowledge and experience as I guess you will be buying items and the more knowledge you have the better. Handling as many items as possible should provide you with a 'feel' for real and fake plus talking to other collectors will help too TD
