My copy of this book arived today. About half of the book is devoted to the unit markings of the Prussian police while the remainder addresses markings of police in Bavaria, Saxony, ThÃ¼ringen, Anhalt, Braunschweig, the Mecklenburgs, Oldenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, LÃ¼beck, Baden, WÃ¼rttemberg, Hessen and the territories surrendered after World War I – Alsace-Lorraine, Danzig, Memelland, Saarland and German Southwest Africa. Other law-enforcement agencies included are the Customs and Finance Administrations of Prussia, Hamburg and Danzig and the Railway and Waterways Protection Police,

“HISTORY WRIT IN STEEL” is the result of years of devoted detailed research and it opens a door into the past of German police marked pistols. Giving them a location and history will greatly increases collector interest and their collector value.

Brad Simpson Publishing did an outstanding job of printing this book with high quality paper and color photographs.

Many thanks to Donald Maus for writing and to Brad Simpson for printing this outstanding book. No German police collector should be without it. Note: parts of this review borrowed from other sources.
