LAH Ring

-Leibstandarte Ring (Item SS 1-3a)

DESCRIPTION: This is the full-sized Allgemeine-

ring of the elite Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. This ring at first was issued, but only for a short time. Then it became an item that would be individually purchased, but the specific rule was that it could only be worn after all

qualifications were met. it was widely worn, but definitely was not a required uniform item; however, this unit, especially this unit, was made up of young enthusiastic idealists who were extremely proud of their membership in this elite of the elite corps. So it was only natural that this art-deco design of grace and beauty would adorn the fingers of this Praetorian Guard named after their leader, Adolf Hitler, whose name appeared upon their cuff bands. This is actually the most plain looking of the

rings, but its beautiful in its simplicity. Crafted in silver with 1930s hard-paste enamel, it seems to say it all! Here are the victory runes embodying the spirit of the Schwarz Corps. You can hold it to your ear and if you are quiet you can hear the marching hob-nailed boots and the strains of the Badenweiler March. Place it in your hand and the arm may start to move upward revealing the Deutsches Grüss and you may go around saying Meine ehre Heist Treue for awhile. The ring is really that awesome in its deigns and historical significance. It is marked 835 (the silver designation inside). If you ever wanted to own the one best representative ring of the

, here is the one; a Teutonic treasure indeed!

THE SS TRADITIONS GROUP PIN (Item SS 1-4)

DESCRIPTION: This is a very rare silver and enameled pin with astounding detail. Within the SS organization there was a group of men that could be compared to the reinactors of today. This small but active group sometimes wore the costumes of antiquity as they served food and performed other functions at high state functions, often for Hermann Goring and other Reich leaders. They also acted as extras in U.F.A. films such as "Kolberg" and often wore 18th century costumes at school functions to teach children about the glorious Germanic past. Hitherto we did not know about any insignia for this SS "Traditionsgruppe", but due to a fantastic find in Germany last year a whole bevy of wonderful insignia and jewelry has surfaced that was produced by various famous Berlin jewelers who crafted such things in the Third Reich. This is one such find. We have found several of these, and it is possible they' are the only ones available in the world today. They are stunningly beautiful in pure 800 silver with a black enamel center with pure silver runes. Clearly marked 800 and they also have the crescent and crown mark as well. We don't know if it is an award for some high proficiency or if it is a first class "tinnie", but it sure is great looking in any case.

PRICE: $450.00

Silver SS Eagle and Skull Set

Silver Eagle and Skull Set (Item SS 1-5; WAF 7-6)

DESCRIPTION: The salient word here is "silver." The normal material for

cap sets were of a white metal substance. This set that we offer is crafted of pure silver and clearly marked "800." This is of relevance as the silver versions were very rare in that they cost the

officer much more, as they were individual purchase. Many companies made them such as Assmann, Wagner, Wilm, etc. Some had the 800 markings under the jaw of the skull, while others had the 800 mark integral with the interior of the skull. Some of the skulls had a raised '800' inside, while others were stamped '800' within. The detail of the silver skulls and eagles is much finer than on the base metal versions and naturally, they are much heavier. The retaining pins are also much thicker because of the additional weight. These were liberated from two different Berlin sources in 1945. They don't come any better than this. These are truly jewels of the Schutzstaffel!
