Old Military manuals.

[Nathangun]

I was in a liquidation store today and came across these old military manuals, medals and helmets.

As I don't speak/read German I have no idea what this book is called.

Some medals.

The Red book above, for those who might have a problem reading it is called "The Human Factor in the Army'

Book on the right is called 'Military Review'.

Again, I don't speak/read German so I don't know what this is called.

A sword dated 1810-1820. For some reason I like to think it saw action during the Napoleonic wars.

Some helmets and more medals.

Did you buy anything??

 

[Nathangun]

No, I did see the entire collection of osprey's history of world war II which was published in the late seventies/early eighties, you might remember. Only for €40. Which I will buy. Didn't have the cash on me.

1st means "German Boys" and 2nd means "France on retreat/on the run".

Looks like they had some pretty cool militaria in that store. In the medals pic, the rainbow colored ones are WW1 Allied victory medals. I also like the toy field gun and crew behind the medals. How much were they asking for some of those manuals/books?

@Rambler
I didn't see any price tags. But I saw a Luger for €146.
I'll be going back in over the weekend to get the WW II collection, I'll ask then.

The best thing I seen was a Maxim machine gun in a militaria shop in Colchester.

@nathangun: Would You be so kind and ask them what the following items may cost: Fieldcraft and Stealth, Field Engineering & Mine Warfare, Defense of Towns and Straight Shooter?

Went into that shop again a bought a collection of volumes of 'The History of the Second World War'.
These were sold as weekly magazines when I was a kid, but been a kid I of course couldn't afford them. I had one copy .
But now I have the lot

Here are some snaps of the inside with art work etc..

@Sempai
I asked about the books in the cabinate but the guy with the keys was out. They said the books are about 25 euro each.

Thank You for the info! I have to ponder that a bit. For the case I would money transfer to You - Would You be so kind and buy them for me?

Greetings
