Here is a quick few shots of a nice condition HR that sold a short while ago on auction. Photos not the biggest or the best,,but its almost a one looker!

History of the ring:

The inside of the ring is engraved: Slb. Daberkow 21.6.40 Himmler.
Ernst Daberkow was an SS-Obersturmführer and II company adjutant with the 7th SS Standarte "Der Führer". Daberkow died of wounds received in battle in Holland on 1 November 1940, less than five months after this ring was awarded!

a few more! His quick death only after a few months receiving the ring explains its great condition!

Wow G it looks just about perfect, look at the back of the ring- it's always at least a little worn here- how crisp that circle is near the oak leaves!

"Daberkow died of wounds received in battle in Holland on 1 November 1940, less than five months after this ring was awarded! "

5 months!, so very little wear,,,OR,,he might have not ever even got to see it!
I'm not sure... Would they just deliver that to his home/family?
Or does it get delivered to him in the field??

Maybe he got it in June but when he died an ss soldier got it back to himmler as per the award document?

another very good question.. It should have got returned. Or maybe the family held on to it[?] Could be one of the HRs Capt.Black handed out too?
