This advert is in the Gahr Silver Smith to the NSDAP book. Claimed it is runic rings made by the Otto Gahr Firm..

Have a member email me and ask about runic rings being period and are they SS.... - They were made during the period... There were a few other firms that made them.. Mainly used as wedding rings... Used by the SS? I am sure not a issued thing. Sure maybe a SS couple would have used them for wedding bands...

- There are also copies of these ring made! Not of the quality the originals and that was their downfall. ..

I used to have many years ago the ring with the red over it.. Years ago I gave it away as a present.. Missed it immediately... anyway,,, - Since then I have never seen another,,,nor any of the examples from the ad...
A runic ring is rare.. But they were made and available for a while probably pre war and shortly after.....,G.

Hell G. E.,

here's pic of page 78 from my personal copy of "Otto und Karolina Gahr - Die Sielberschmiede der NSDAP und der SS" book.

See book authors (Arthur Meyer & Heinrich W. Schild) interesting info below image taken from Gahr katalog.

P.S. to date I've never had chance to check in hands an original ring bearing runes around band.
