Robert A., Shoaf said Good, but flawed reference.. 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. jeff weil said all the German Officer spiked helmets -great reference with nice big color pics. Covers all the German Officer spiked helmets -great reference with nice big color pics. If you collect WW1 German -buy this book
