From army badges to gas masks, this book covers the major types of twentieth-century military collectables. Arthur Ward shows what these items look like and what new collectors should be looking for to ensure they’re purchasing authentic artifacts and not reproductions. This book also includes photographs of the author’s collection that feature important details such as insignias and other regalia. “A very useful book written by an author who knows his stuff.” —The Armourer
