Totenkopf Library Book Zucht und Sitte), (Cultivation [or Breeding] and Custom), Die Neuordnung unserer Lebensgesetze, The New Order of Our Life's Rules (Item SS 17-1) |
|||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This was a very rare book printed in 1942 in two volumes. They document the intellectual world of National Socialism and its sacred-race concepts. They move toward making a statement about the manifest destiny of the Aryan peoples through the usage of art and history. Racial studies and comparisons are made and art is investigated for its stratagem of culture-bearing aspects. This is very deep N.S. prose, poetry, and pictorial essay that inspire greatness and pride of being Western man in thought and deed. There are such chapters with pictures as the eternal law of the wilderness blood and race, the community of the living and the dead fanfare and the calling!, etc. There many artistic renderings by Wolfram Willrich. Statues by Prof. Klimsch and Josef Thorak abound. There are paintings and drawings by Albrecht Dürer, and a great bronze bust of the Führer by the famous Hans Schwegerle is featured. These are SS-Ahnenerbe-inspired books and are extremely rare, especially in a set. They are in great condition and there are 112 pages in volume one and 115 in volume two. Each has the ex libris card in the front cover of the SS-Totenkopf Verband 'Oberbayern'. A great set of extremely important culturally enhancing volumes-an archival treasure, indeed.
PRICE: $595.00 for the set |

This is a 525-page study of race. Here are all the instruments, charts, and hundreds of pictures used to ascertain the racial characteristics of Aryan, Alpine, Nordic, and the others: Jews, Gypsies, Orientals, Negroids, Baltics, Slavs, etc. The faces of the highest forms and the lowest are depicted. You will see the ancient statues of the Greeks, Romans, and Germanics. The noble faces of Prussian military men Graf Roon, Mackensen, and Hindenburg are shown. Maps, charts, etc., are displayed. Here is the complete racial guide for the Napola, Adolf Hitler schools, and the SS-Ahnenerbe and general SS studies. Folded inside is a death notice for the passing of Dr. Günther in 1969. This is one of the most important books ever printed on race and racial comparisons. The book was part of the large archival group removed from the SS Bücher Reihe der SS-Totenkopf Standarte "Oberbayern" (the SS archive collection). It is one of the most important pieces of documentation ever to be found on this subject.

SS Enlisted Ranks' Dagger with Vertical Hanger (Item SS 17-3) |
|||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is an extremely fine Model 1933 SS enlisted man’s dagger by Rich Abr. Herder Solingen. This is as issued or purchased with fine ebony grip in fine condition and nickel mounts. The dagger is not in mint condition, but if it were a rifle we could call it “NRA excellent!” The tiny dent to the scabbard tip is barely noticeable. The minute dents here and there on the ebony wood is only perceived in very close inspection. The blade borders on mint and it fits the cross guards with no discernible space whatsoever. This is an early production example evidenced by the design of the Herder logo style. The usual shrinkage of the wood at the cross guard is perceivable only on very close inspection. The Roman numeral ‘I’ is stamped into the reverse cross guard. This refers to the Abschnit or SS district. The vertical hanger is of the post-November 1934 pattern as ordered by Heinrich Himmler and is suspended in the fixed vertical position as prescribed. It is the coffin-shaped style. See Wittman’s Exploring the Dress Daggers of the German SS, pages 591 through 600 with special attention to page 596, bottom picture. This fine specimen is marked inside where the scabbard would cover it. There is ‘SS’ in a circle followed by ‘4834 RZM’ in another circle. The Assmann nickel snap clip is marked with the ‘DRGM’ stamping (patent protected). See the above book by Wittman, page 599, right top of page for explanation of the numbers on this Assmann hanger. The scabbard is anodized as the early ones were. The finish is slightly dotted as is usually the case with tiny abrasions, but again, only noticeable under very close scrutiny. All in all the scabbard is very fine, also. There is a noticeable thin band of wear about one inch down from the scabbard throat caused by the strap of the vertical hanger after 60-some years of its just being there, but also from its original wear by the former owner. What we offer here is a magnificent example of the most sought after dagger of the Third Reich in fine overall condition. Honest, unfooled with, all original and early! You almost could not wish for a better specimen.

Document of Freiherr von Eberstein, SS-Obergruppenführer and General of the Police (Police President) (Item SS 17-4) |
|||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a document awarding the long-service medal of the NSDAP in gold to a man whom Eberstein refers to as Kamerad. This was drafted June 19, 1942. This Schmitt gentleman was the Chief of the SS’ Personal chancery at the Prinz Albrecht Strasse (Gestapo HQ). The letter is hand signed (boldly) by von Eberstein, who also proclaims “Heil Hitler.” There are some numbers and a word or two across the top in green pencil. This was the style of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler??? Could it be Himmler’s approval? In the title it says the highest SS and police leader. He also was the Bavarian State Minister of the Interior and also Baden Supetengau Thuringen and Würtemberg and a leader of the army (Wehrkreisen) VII and XIII; certainly one of the most important men of the Third Reich. The document is about ¼ stained and the “Fhr.” for “Freiherr is slightly faded to blue, but considering how rare the document is this seems acceptable. The document is framed and has a postcard photo of V. Eberstein attached. This is a very important document/letter and would be considered quite rare. The letter itself measures 11 ½ x 8 inches. The frame is 14 ½ x 18. Postcard measures 3 ½ by 5 1/2 inches.

Book Das Land in den Bergen from the SS Book Archive of the Totenkopf Standarte ‘Oberbayern’ (Item SS 17-5) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is a great book depicting in pictures (wonderful pictures) the spirit of the mountain folk in the Bavarian and Tyrolean Alps. It also is interwoven with the spirit of the NSDAP and its relationship with this very Germanic phenomenon of the love of mountains. It opens with a penned dedication and Christmas greeting in 1942. It measures 10 x 11 ½ inches and is in very fine, sound condition with a bit of soiling on the cover. Its 189 pages consist mostly of pictures. Between pages 159 and 188 the photos are of Geburgsjager of Wehrmacht mountain troopers in training exercises (astounding pictures). The other photos are of these hardy mountaineers at work and play with a swastika armband here and there. These are the people and this is the place where these Oberbayern-SS men came from. So this was no doubt a favored book in the collection. Please see other Oberbayern-SS books among Germania’s offerings that were procured in this grouping that we managed to purchase. This is one of the best.
PRICE: $395.00 |
