ITEM DESCRIPTION:

Up for sale is a premium collector\'s set featuring an excellent, author-signed copy of \"Panzer: Die Bilddokumentation der deutschen Kampfpanzer des Zweiten Weltkrieges\" by Horst Scheibert.

This set is uniquely valuable because it includes both a personal handwritten inscription on the title page and a matching official veteran letter from the author, providing perfect provenance.

• The Inscribed Book (Excellent Condition)
• The title page features a handwritten note penned by Horst Scheibert (a decorated WWII tank commander) in traditional German script. Reflecting directly on his own wartime combat record, the inscription translates to:
• \"I hold the Panzer Assault Badge in honor, alongside the Iron Cross 1st Class, both today and in the future! — Horst Scheibert\"

• Jacket & Cover Condition: The original pictorial dust jacket is in beautiful condition with bright colors, featuring a Tiger I tank on the front. The black hardcovers are pristine with clean edges.

• Spine & Binding: The spine features striking, bright gold lettering reading \"PANZER\". The binding is very tight and structurally excellent.

• Interior: Pages are clean, bright, and free of stray marks, highlighting the rare photographs sourced from the private album of Colonel-General Heinz Guderian.

• The Accompanying Letter (Ironclad Provenance)
• Tucked inside the book is an original, typed letter signed by Horst Scheibert, dated June 14, 1987, on the official letterhead of the \"Kameradschaft der ehem. Panzer-Regimenter 7 und 21\" (Veteran Association of the former Panzer Regiments 7 and 21).

• The letter is addressed to a fellow veteran, \"Comrade Scharpenberg.\"

• Scheibert discusses a financial donation and details an association trip to see the then-modern Leopard 2 battle tank in action, listing its technical specifications.

• He closes by congratulating Scharpenberg on receiving the prestigious Bundesverdienstkreuz (Federal Cross of Merit) for promoting German-American relations.

• The formal ink signature at the bottom perfectly matches the handwriting style of the book\'s inscription, serving as absolute validation.
