The book is the result of an exhibition in the Hermitage Museum. With 168 pages filled with magnificent colour illustrations of arms and a few flags, photos of various objects with the arms, etc. it is truly an exceptional book. It has an introductory essay on the history of the arms. Text is in English and Russian. The book is expensive, though: DEM 154.

Language: German (High)
Edition date: 1928 (1st ed.)
Pages: 240+12
Format: 220×275(×30) mm
Weight: 950 g

A masterpiece of vexillological research, written by a historian working for the Reichsministerium des Innern (Veit Valentin) and a (young) heraldist (Ottfried Neubecker). Most of the book is text (not straightforward to read as it is printed in Fraktur font) with only twelve plates of excellent flags and coats-of-arms images by Neubecker. The first part studies in depth the origin of the German colours, both the black-red-yellow and the black-white-red; the second part contains many literal quotations from historical legislation on German national flags since 1804 plus an excellent critical bibliography.

It looks like von Volborth sent his (unpublished) manuscript (in English) to Achen, who then translated, adapted and edited it. And then it was published. In Danish. The english edition of 1973 [vvb73] is then product of a “re-translation”.
Ole Andersen, 20 Jan 2000, and António Martins, 28 Jan 2000

Here’s the Editor’s Preface in the Blandford 1979 reprint of von Volborth’s 1973 Heraldry of the World [vvb73]:

This useful little book was written originally in America by Carl Alexander von Volborth and has subsequently appeared in Germany and Denmark, the Danish edition having been extensively adapted and edited by Sven Tito Achen and published by Politikens Forlag in 1972.

The present edition is a translation from the Danish, and the English editor has been at pains to preserve the text of the Danish edition, merely making minor amendments where necessary for the benefit of the English and American reader and endeavouring to ensure that the sections relating to English heraldry are in keeping with current heraldic practice as observed at the College of Arms. He odes not claim to vouch for the accuracy of every detail, as the work covers a very wide spectrum, but he feels confident that the book will fill an important gap in the literature of heraldry.

A very good bulletin edited by Leon Nyssen, who is only interested in new information and refuses to include unverified material from other bulletins (and therefore restricts the spread of spurious information). Sources are always explicitely cited.
