STARTING OUT - Collecting South African Militaria - Dudley Wall
Dudley Wall's book of South African Militaria is the perfect book for those starting out with a collection as well as for those who wish to have a reference work. It will also be of interest to people who served in the SADF/SANDF because most unit and proficiency badges are recorded.
The book has been out of print for some time. Second hand versions of the second edition have been changing hands for up to 90 US Dollars, which prompted the author to ensure that a new edition was available. This third edition has been slightly updated and made available by Just Done Productions for R360.
The book is printed in full colour with a good basic collection of South African military insignia reproduced along with text that contextualizes the development of the insignia.
Available for purchase from Just Done Production's website at http://www.justdone.co.za/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/153 for South African customers and at http://www.lulu.com/browse/book_view.php?fCID=1306243 for international clients.
