- Offered for sale is a pair of original cufflinks in 14K gold (hallmarked 585) that the Reichsf�hrer-SS Heinrich Himmler owned. Their size is 1/2 x 3/4 inch and each has his initials on one side and SS runes on the other side.
They were made by the prestigous Gahr company in Munich. The couple Otto and Karolina Gahr in Munich, both goldsmiths, were the makers of the NSDAP standards as well as the golden NSDAP member badges. Otto Gahr died on 5 October 1932 and his widow continued running the business. After the death of her husband she renamed the company to Gahr M�nchen. Gahr also made the standards for NSKK and NSFK and Himmler had the SS Honor Rings made by her company as well. Besides these official party orders Gahr was the jeweler of choice for many of the Nazi elite.
- These cufflinks were taken from Himmler's house on the Obersalzberg in May of 1945 by Lt. D.C. Watts. He took many items from the Berghof as well from the houses of Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, Bormann and Speer on the Obersalzberg. Watts was one of the first troops up there and he shipped tons of souvenirs back to the States in duffle bags and shipping boxes.
A rare and unusual original Third Reich artifact that was liberated in 1945 on the Obersalzberg and that comes directly out of the high end collection of a longtime collector who has decided to part with some of his treasures! Full money back guarantee for authenticity.
- two of the four pieces are marked GAHR M�NCHEN and all four are hallmarked '585' which stands for 14K gold..
