SS-Ahnenerbe Re-creation of Ancient Danish Hunting Horn (Item AHN 4-1; VIKING 1-2) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: The SS-Ahnenerbe was composed of 50 departments one of which was a special workshop where certain re-created items were put together using the copies of the ancient tools in their production. These items were distributed to museums throughout Germany. It was admitted that certain ancient items could never be located or bought by these museums, but all the same, they felt it necessary to have re-creations that had the look and feel of the real items. This is one of the extra-special examples of this department’s agenda. The piece is a very accurate museum copy of a Viking hunting horn that was reminiscent of the Golden horns of Gallehus, the famous horns from Scandinavia that were stolen and melted down in 1802. The style of those pieces and the runes upon them would be to the period AD 400-450 and they were crafted in gold. They were of a certain style as known to the warlike Danes (Vikings). They certainly were the sacred national treasure. The more common hunting horns of the Norsemen were crafted from cow horns and were actually used in the hunt by the chieftains and noble warriors, but the design was much like the golden horns and from drawings on rocks, ancient buildings, and Viking ships. The Ahnenerbe artists were able to produce this wonderful replica of a Viking chief’s hunting horn. The carving shows Norse legends, animals, people, half-animal people, and serpents from Aryan saga. Everything had deep meaning to the ancients and to the ancestral heritage foundation itself. The fitting at the far end is sealed shut so that it no longer opens. These horns were not only for the signal, “horrido,” to begin the hunt; they were also used as drinking horns, too. The tip fittings are in brass, while the rim fitting is in silver. Around the edges of the rim are Danish runes that spell out “Deutsches Ahnenerbe.” Our house translator, Wilhelm Reinhard Gehlen, brought this out. Besides reading every type of Germanic script, he also is expert in the language of the runes. This is the greatest Ahnenerbe item we have ever seen or imagined still existed. This is a fantastic find in excellent condition.
PRICE: $5,000.00; much too cheap |

| DESCRIPTION: This is the officer-corps magazine published by the SS printing office and distributed to SS officers. It was strictly a cultural and educational booklet and was always devoted to subjects of the “higher plane.” This was Jahrgang 7 and is a “very special” issue in that it is devoted to the Externestein, the Rocks of the Sun near Detmold. It, of course, has other interesting subjects as well, with great black-and-white pictures. The English phenomenon Stonehenge is also covered, with charts and discussion in the Externestein section, which is also shown (at least in part) on the cover. There is a beautiful picture of the rocks in color plus a great photo of the Sun Alter. This is a fascinating place to visit, but lately the sun chamber had to be sealed off because of graffiti and vandals with pocketknives. I think it would be great to throw a few of them from the heights. I’m sure the ancient Druidic priests would admire me for that, and I would be in ecstasy to accomplish that. Anyway, this is a rare special issue and is certainly worth adding to a fine and important collection.

Book Die Krise der Alten Welt |
||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is the book considered the rarest of them all the works of the Ahneberbe-Stiftung SS ancestral heritage foundation. This is a scholarly work that delves deeply into the culture, art and ruins of the ancient world's own Aryan peoples in Greece, Mesopotamia, the Sahara, an ancient Rome. India and the near East are also explored. There were several Ahnenerbe expeditions to northern India and Tibet to learn more of the origins of the Indo-Germanic races. The book has 259 pages of text and 141 full-page pictures of ancient antiquities. This important book was published under the auspices of the Deutsche Ahnenerbe-Stiftung Verlag, Berlin-Dahlem in 1943 and opens with a quotation from Heinrich Himmler, Reichsführer-SS where he says: “Ein Volk lebt so lange glücklish in gegenwart und zukunst als es sich seiner vergangenheit und der grosse seiner ahnen bewust ist,” roughly translated: “A people, will live longer and be fortunate in the present and the future when the past and the great deeds of their ancestry is cognizant to them.” And, of course, this was the task and agenda of the Ahnenerbe organization to bring about the awareness of the greatness of the Aryan people; das Herrenvolk. This is truly an important book and should be preserved as it was by the library and staff of the SS-Totenkopf Standarte Oberbayern. This was one of the many rare books from this library that were bought in Germany at auction and then found at the Frankfurt Book Fair a few years ago by members of our search team. The book measures 8 x 10 inches and is 1 1/2 inches thick. The condition is near perfect. The inside cover bears the ex libris card of the Totenkopf Library. Seldom does anything this rare show up on the web.
PRICE: $395.00; ultra special! |

Aryan Volk Wood Carving (Item AHN 4-4; ART 14-15) |
||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a cultural item in the best traditions of the race and resettlement office Rasse und Siedlungshauptamt and that’s where it came from. There was also an Ahnenerbe connection evidently. That is what we were told by the man who sold it to us. It was possibly carved in one of the 50-odd departments within the heritage foundation so an SS connection is entirely plausible especially in light of the inscription under the figures “Unsere Ehre heisst Treue; Unser die Zukunft.” This means: “Our honor is loyalty; and ours the future.” Under this is the national German greeting “Heil Hitler.” This is very similar to the SS motto seen on the blades of their daggers. The only difference being with the word “Unsere” instead of “Meine.” The plaque is carved all out of oak. It measures 10 1/2 x 8 inches. It’s signed with “HO;” whoever that was, he was a master carver. On the back is a penciled ’12 September 1936.’ Was this the date carved or the date presented or both? The portrayal is a young man and young lady who both show the beautiful Nordic, Aryan features as would be expected in an article that was from either of these organizations previously mentioned. We cannot say enough about the carving; look to the hair, the facial structures, the nobility. The wood planchet is about an inch thick. The artist who did this had the “Treue Geist,” the “real spirit.” He has in his depiction of the loyal NS youths transcended the mediocre and mundane and reached the heights of Teutonic splendor graphically illustrating what was to be, but now we have ACDC and KISS. This is almost a spiritual object; observe it as such!
