Hi All:

Here's a pic I recently came across of an early Ehrendegen collector.

Enjoy!

A good shot of old Kurt. As Chief of Police he probably confiscated them from everyone else in the car so they would not stab him in the back with them.

A nice picture which should help to alleviate some misconceptions concerning Police Officer's carrying SS Officer swords.

On the other hand, who knows what's going on with the police officer seemingly holding three swords. Perhaps he really is a "Collector"

In any event, an interesting and appreciated photograph.

Ross, endless gratitude for your efforts and giving.

John

I'm sure he is holding on to everybody else's sword. Would be difficult to hold on to them while riding in the car.

Excellent photo! And, if only it were warmer, and they weren't wearing gloves! What good shots of the Totenkopf rings we might get!
