My first post on this Forum and thought I would show you my new TK Ring. Due to the flash on the camera it doesn't show the nice patina. It's dated 21/6/42.

A really nice and super ring, but, it should really be in my stables.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks John. That means a lot coming from you. This is one of those things that I always wanted but never had enough money for.

Erich,
Congratulations. I have admired that ring myself and I'm glad it now has found a good home. Enjoy.
Tell us some of the recipient's particulars when you get a chance.
Best,
M.

Thanks for the nice words WResearch! The owner of this ring was named Heinrich Groll. He was born in 1905, Joined the NSDAP in 1929 and the SS in 1931.His occupation was a Metal Worker in Nurnberg. He became an UnterStrumfuhrer in April 1942 receiving his TK Ring that same year. No one special but an early Party and SS Member all the same. I'm looking forward to seeing your nice group of TK Rings WResearch! Best, Erich

Erich,You got yourself a real keeper,the ring is in T.W. SS book.( page 97 )
As the story goes the ring and Grolls dagger,I think walk into a SOS show back in 2002.
I did know the guy that owns the chain.
Great Ring !! Best to you, Tommy

The COA on this ring from Don Boyle was done in 1996 for Tom Johnson. Interesting history this Ring has!
