Because German military awards have spiraled in value in recent years, the Collector's Guide to German Nazi Party Awards 1919-1945 is a great opportunity to tap in this international market and provide a practical and helpful guide for collectors of such memorabilia. The book features 80-90 medals, fully illustrated from the author's extensive collection, such medals like the Munich Putsch, Blood Order and the German Order which in current market conditions are expected to fetch over GBP20,000-GBP100,000 each are included. Unlike military medals within the Third Reich structure, the Nazi Party Awards were issued within the Nazi hierarchy as well as to foreigners; the Art and Science Award being deemed as the Nobel Prize, for example. The latter was encrusted with platinum and diamonds, only one copy is known to exist and was presented to the Third Reich's vice chancellor (the medal is currently in Christopher Ailsby's collection).
