<p>[QUOTE=&quot;schutzenfester, post: 5428073, member: 5124&quot;]I recently received the new 3rd Edition Richter Catalog and am extremely happy to have this great book!</p><p><br /></p><p>The catalog per Jürg Richter has approximately 200 additions/corrections throughout but the main differences this 3rd Edition has when compared to others is:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Languages: English and Chinese </p><p><br /></p><p>2. There is a generous Introduction including many illustrations about the history of Swiss Schützenfest. This portion is very well done!</p><p><br /></p><p>3. At the beginning of each Canton grouping there is a page dedicated to the history of the Canton.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Next, after the Canton history, there are a couple of medals that are highlighted with allegorical and historical descriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a wonderful edition and will in my opinion, increase the popularity of the hobby for English and Chinese speaking collectors because of the translations and the added histories. While the catalog is still just that, a catalog, the added histories, multiple historical pictures, Cantonal histories as well as the added information regarding the few medals at the beginning of each Canton group will enable the collector to gain added more knowledge and appreciation for this great field of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that this same 3rd. Edition is available in German and Chinese translation but I have not spoken to Jürg directly about my assumption.</p><p><br /></p><p>Price: 85 Euro</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the catalog page from the Battenberg Verlag site:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/images/books/01970dd4-534d-4603-a32b-e39d8dc1fc09.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/images/books/01970dd4-534d-4603-a32b-e39d8dc1fc09.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/images/books/01970dd4-534d-4603-a32b-e39d8dc1fc09.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/sammeln/autor/keh-wee-kwang" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/sammeln/autor/keh-wee-kwang" rel="nofollow">Keh Wee Kwang </a>| <a href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/sammeln/autor/juerg-richter" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/sammeln/autor/juerg-richter" rel="nofollow">Jürg Richter </a>| <a href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/sammeln/autor/marcel-haeberling" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.battenberg-gietl.de/sammeln/autor/marcel-haeberling" rel="nofollow">Marcel Häberling</a></p><p><font size="6"><b>Swiss shooting thalers and shooting medals</b></font></p><p><font size="5"><b>瑞士 射击 塔拉尔 钱币 和 射击 节 纪念章</b></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Published by Battenberg Verlag</p><p><br /></p><p>ISBN: 978-3-86646-193-2</p><p><br /></p><p>Edition: 3rd edition 2020</p><p><br /></p><p>Illustrations: colored throughout</p><p><br /></p><p>Hardcover: 632 pages</p><p><br /></p><p>Format: 23.5 x 28 cm</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This book deals with the history as well as the historical background of the marksmen and marksmen medals of Switzerland.</p><p>Over 2500 thalers and medals from the beginning in the early 17th century to 1960 were listed in detail and the majority were shown. This book thus becomes an indispensable reference work when it comes to determining and evaluating marksmen and marksman medals in Switzerland. Now in the 3rd edition as a German-Chinese version![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
