Very nice! Here's one I have.
-
WWWWHHHHHOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH !!!!! Halloween's on the way.
-
Tom. I'll be able to post more pix of the goblet next week. It's engraved from fellow officers to a Rittmeister of the 1st Leibhusaren, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to give me his background details. In the meantime, here's one of my other 'skull' awards......just for you.
-
It's the other side of the goblet I like best, though.......
-
Not really an award, but.......well, you see what I mean. Wagner made in 750 silver.
-
......if anyone's interested. http://cgi.ebay.de/GERMAN-WW1-IMPERIAL-FRE...1QQcmdZViewItem The link seems to be U/S, but you can find the catalogue if you search on 'Freicorps' - yes, with a 'C'.
-
This is what his signature should look like. If original, it would be worth a few hundred ?s.
-
Rick. Of course - you are right about the NSDAPs being back to front. I couldn't see the wood for the trees.
-
That doesn't look like the Anschluss ribbon to me. Isn't it the Social Welfare Medal/Cross? The dark edges are the edges of the adjacent ribbons. That would put the ribbons in the correct order.
-
Another Wehrwolf standard-bearer, but without a gorget.
-
The gorget is typical imperial style, in nickeled and fire-gilded bronze, with four screw posts holding the centre fitting in place. The quality is fantastic. I've never seen another one in 35 years.
-
This is a similar one being worn, I think (the photo is very small).
-
Anyone ever seen one of these before?
-
The ring belonged to Georg Simetsreiter, who served with the Munich SS, the SS Welfare Dept., and latterly with the Hunyadi Division of the Waffen-SS.
-
now that his little box has arrived in the post today......
-
Joe. THIS is what I call aesthetically pleasing.........
-
The single row of teeth become clearer in this (earlier) version of the totenkopf.
-
Rick. There is only one set of teeth. What looks like the top set is in fact meant to be the skull cavities into which the teeth fit - if you get my drift. Looks like two rows of teeth - but only one.
-
Here's my Reichswehr 1921 setup.........
-
Here it is in wear......
-
Here's one of mine.

...and the blue ribbon still means the same thing today. But is this ribbon copying the Mother's Cross??? Or the Baltic Cross???

My favourite police photo. This is how I feel after a day at the office.
