In an effort to figure out the best title for my book on Totenkopf Rings which is currently at Schiffer, I wished to ask the target audience what they would like to see in a title. So, please submit your titles here, and whoever wins the competition will receive a free signed book. The current title is not very imaginative: Totenkopf Ring. Feel free to point members of other forums on rings to this thread.

I'll be first,you might as well have it in English so when people see it they will think "What in hell is that!) I suggest the title THE SS DEATH HEAD RING

Craig your very lucky with Schiffer letting you pick the title. The publisher I'm working with not only picks out the title but also the cover design and chapter names and layout! You can make suggestions but he has final say.. anyway,,,
How about: 'WEAR THIS RING WITH HONOR!' H. Himmlers gift of Loyalty and Thanks.
'The SS Totenkopf Honor Ring. Up close, in depth, and personal!'
'Advanced study of the Nazi SS Totenkopf Honor Ring.'
*Come on guys,,keep them coming.. Good luck Craig,,can't wait to see it..Thanks , G.

Well since I designed the runes and ring logo used on Don Boyle's book, I thought I would give this a shot. "Wear this ring with honor!" was taken from the Death's Head Ring Citation and seems like a good title. A picture of a ring on the cover is a must and Himmler's collar tabs associate the award with him. All graphics were borrowed from the internet so pictures of a real ring and Himmler collar tabs would have to be used. BTW, I also designed the cover on my own book, "The Key". Now about royalties...

Hello, almost the same as Bernie's, but in German language : "Tragen Sie den ring in Ehren !" Bernie's graphic looks perfect in my opinion ! Just my 2c, considering I'm a publisher in life... Best Ric

Hi!
"WENN ALLE UNTREU WERDEN..." Its a german ring, so i think german words in the title. Its the beginning of the ss-song. it means "If all get unfaithful...

Wow, I'm impressed, guys! Please keep them coming. I asked Drew to remove the graphic, because I don't want to "spoil" it for anybody. Sorry for any confusion (he's doing the cover design). Schiffer was very good to work with, and while I'm sure they have editorial control, they asked me to do the cover-design and title. My only feelings so far:
I would prefer not to use the term "Honor Ring" - I think it's incorrect (although we all use it) and Totenkopf Ring is the better more accurate term - one that is exclusively used in the book.
Also, although the book is done, there is still lots of work to do. After Schiffer does the layout and text editing, the manuscript comes back to me so I can make additions. I've already got two or three people on line to do a complete read-through for accuracy, and to call the "BS" flag if they think I've said something that is totally off-base.
Also, I'm still in need of some of the later-style conferral documents, so if you have one that is either the "latest" style with the faxcimile signature, or the previous style, with the "SS" runes, please let me know!

SS Totenkopfring "Circle of Honor"
OR
SS Totenkopfring "Circle of Honor and Loyalty"
OR SS Totenkopfring "Circle of Loyalty"
Either would make a great title, simple and to the point. Ron

Hello,
How about "From Munich to Nuremberg: History of the SS Totenkopfring". Munich being the place where Gahr's shop was located as well as the birth of the movement including early SS formations. Nuremberg represented the end of the SS when it's organization was put on trial and declared criminal. The title repesents the Ring but also gives meaning to the Organization behind it's creation in the first place.
Best,
James

Whatever choice you use, I suggest that avoid having "SS" on the Cover, so that your International Sales will not be hurt by Foreign Censorship Laws. ALL of us who are your target audience of Buyers, KNOW that it is the SS Ring....

I believe that Robert's idea is very good. I used the same approach for my "Nachrichtenoffiziere der Waffen-SS" and "F�hrerliste der Waffen-SS" publications and they have been successful. Even though I had a co-titel in English of "Signal Officers of the Waffen-SS" people mainly refer to it by the German title, even English speakers. It just makes sense.

It's a nice idea to keep the title in German, but not practical when the bulk of the market will be in America, Canada and the UK.
How about "Himmler's Sacred Order" with a subtitle "An illustrated guide to Der Totenkopfring der SS"
It pretty much sums up the book, keeps the Germanic aspects intact, but also does not undermine the importance these rings had to both the men who earned them, and Himmler himself.

Craig,
What a fun topic! I don't have any suggestions for your book title. My only contribution is to compile and alphabetize the previous suggestions. I thought it would be helpful for everyone. My apologies to anyone if I missed their suggestion. Perhaps one of these is the lucky winner.

I just saw this thread today and thought I would add two just for fun off the top of my head. How about " The SS Totenkopf Ring From It's Runic Beginning To The Ruins Of Berlin ", or " It Sarted With A Twisted Dream, The Legend Of The Totenkopf Ring ". ( That last one has a ring to it ). Great idea Craig to come up with abook title. I love the cover you have now. Steve.

What about "The Dead Ringer" . I guess that actually is sick. Congrats on the Book Craig. On a side note, and certainly not to digress or take the thunder, and of course speaking of recently published titles from fellow collectors, Mike Bortner just published his book on Japanese battle flags and 1000 stictch belts.

Just an update on this contest. Coburg22 won the contest, as you all know (interesting that his winning entry was also his first post on GDC). The reason I picked his entry was that I found that it perfectly encapsulated the historical significance of the Totenkopf Ring and why it is so fascinating to me. As the book will show, the ring is really a "marker" whose history closely parallels the rise and fall of the Third Reich. It also did not glorify the SS, which is something that a book on this subject could easily do. James: Please email me with your address and other contact information. I will make sure you are among the first to receive your personally signed and numbered copies.
