Guest Rick Research Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 These were brought around for Epsonization today by my friend who obtained them directly from the veteran who snarfled them up at the Dachau SS depot. He also got some Polizei sleeve eagles there which I'll post under Police.
Guest Rick Research Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I know nothing (ZERO) about SS insignia and simply post these as part of many Imperial and Third Reich treasures scanned for a local friend in today's visit. There is apparently much tumult over "Dachau SS" insignia which, frankly my eyes glaze over and I don't read.Rule Number 1 is to Buy The Item & Not The Story... and what we have here are items from an impeccable source, which have never been in commerce-- and which are not GOING to be.
Paul R Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I cannot offer anything constructive here, but that is a wonderful find!! I hope that it all stays together!
Sprocket Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 All looks good and original... especially like the eagle with the cloth tag on the back.Bob
leigh kitchen Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Hang on thouigh - is this in fact a case of "the story" not the item?
Guest Rick Research Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Nope. I understand that "anybody" can say "anything" and I am always the first to not buy an unsupported story, but these have come out of the attic from a known and trustworthy source... absent the poisoned taint of money.Never been in commerce, never going to be in commerce. That and all his other brought back items have been impeccable to amazing (scattered about in recent posts). Wish one of my G.I. kin had been as discerning a souvenir hound.
Robin Lumsden Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Great items...........esp. the Flemish shield and the hammerhead eagle.
nesredep Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Great items...........esp. the Flemish shield and the hammerhead eagle.Hello!I agree. All the best Nesredep
