The post sent to me about the material of the HR:



" Years ago I gave my ring to a physical analysis company to tell me the composition. Pepera and I communicated a lot about this and I convinced him to send in his rings for analysis. I think he sent in 8 or 10. I have the report around here somewhere. Not a lot of silver as I recall. Himmler was worried about the use of silver at the time and the supply the SS had. That is why the discontinued SS sword fittings in the war. All in my documentation files."
