Kraus,
Jürgen, two volumes, Biblio Verlag, Osnabrook, 1999. (German)
This is the best source of data that I have found on Pickelhaubes.
The problem is that the books are impossible to find. If you
gentle reader find one available, let me know I will buy it.
It is in two volumes, hundreds of pages in German. It has
similar line drawings to the Pietsch volumes. However, this
one is very well annotated, well researched, and amazingly
detailed in its documentation. Time after time, I find myself
going back to these books. If you see them buy them. I cannot
recommend them as a must-have because you can't find them.
Many of the data bits that I have in articles are referenced
to these volumes. Kraus goes back to the original source and
pulls the data. It is a companion work to the one volume picture
book of his that was printed in Austria. The single volume
is available and highly recommended and has beautiful color
photography and great text. This two-volume work has even
better text, but alas no color photography.
