An RZM tag of intermediate date in an officer's cap, an August Mueller, the property of an officer in the SS Totenkopfverbaende.... this kind of tag is faked, to be sure, however this Exponat has the mark of time...once more made and sold in the Hauptstadt der Bewegung....

A well known stamp....beware also of these as fakes. However, most attempts at this feature go horribly wrong....

Another early cap, already illustrated above..viel Sammlerglueck. How did these fetid woolen objects survive from 1939 to 2006?

Thank you, dear colleague. The pieces are not my property, but they have passed through this locale on their way to happy, caring homes. Your material is very nice, as well. Himmler was such a strange human being, one has to say. There is an excellent book out in Germany from the great niece of Himmler, in which much new material comes to light on the Himmler brothers and this man's background. Very well written and excellent researched material.

Don, I finished reading the book some weeks ago. Its written by Katrin Himmler, and called "Die Br�der Himmler, Eine deutsche Familiengeschichte", and is published by S. Fisher. Its an intriging book about the Himmler family, his parents, his brothers and their involvement in the NS regime and their respective faimilies.

A1 4 is Clemens Wagner/ Braunschweig/Hamburg. They made lots of caps in the style as yours here. One find the VA stamp seldom. This is a nice piece. The Wagner caps of later make, i.e. 1938, were not the best in terms of quality and they fall apart. Yours is well preserved. A nice piece, to be sure. There is an extra stamp here on the reverse of the band which is interesting.

Wish I had some black to post..but I dont own any..but its been wonderful to view the nuggets owned by other collectors! To think these men once walked through the streets of germany in formation like so many Pez dispensers..it must have been a powerfully seductive and awesome sight!

Donald yes funny enough Pez dispensers are faked. Some are worth $5000.00 and more. Funny I had a hand holding an eyeball Pez dispenser as a kid and it is now worth a few hundred dollars. Not bad for something that sold for less than $1.00. Everything that is collectible and of value is faked. cheers, Ryan

Cheers,
Thank you, Darryl. There glimmers in the summer's fading of 1934 (...to say nothing of the ghost of Roehm and the other benighted and cursed souls of 30 June 1934...) your magical helmet. It is also interesting that these Leibstandarte people have grey bread bags and Labeflaschen, too. I admire your single-mindedness. When next I find an authentic LAH helmet with these badges at the San Jose flea market, I shall ring you up. Does a single example of this survive at all that is vetted? I have failed to buy all the Hicks and Beaver helmet books. I should also say that the Hagen Westfalen images here are courtesy of Darryl, who is gifted in many aspects of all of this. The Hagen/Westfalen uniform is but one of two from the same SS fellow, actually. Thank you, Ryan, for the guidance on the pez containers. I guess if people want it, it is faked, just like so much else. I am fated to stick with the stinky black wool for a bit longer. I had thought a way out might present itself to me....maybe I shall collect old Mercedes diesel taxis reconstituted from the Caucasus and the Middle East?

Hi Donald,
Yes, there go my "holy grails" in all their blackened splendour. These particular helmets being worn by the LAH appear to have national tri-colour decals rather than the slightly earlier painted insignia. These too were very short-lived. I know of no real examples, save for a hand-painted version which appears in the Beaver/Hicks recent work. I believe this very same helmet also appeared in Vol 2 of the Weinand/Goodapple series.
My collecting interest is actually changing somewhat. I shall expand on all of this at a later time. For now I am enjoying the wonderful images being posted to this thread. Keep them coming!
Cheers,
Darryl

Thanks to colleague Darryl. We would be much weaker without your acute, insightful and magisterial command of all these metallic wonders. I add perhaps this...the last gasp of Mueller Sonderanfertigungen for the enlisted ranks. I enclosed images of its interior several pages back...

Bravo to our colleague across the wide, blue Pacific. Very impressive. You should get a cuff title from Bruce Herman to finish this Linzer Montur. He has several authentic Sturmbaender of the type that would restore this piece, unless the Linzer Sta. had an Ehrentitel. Viel Sammerlglueck.

These are faked, of course, and widely so. However, the IV Reich variety leaves much to be desired, as a matter of fact....
