<p>[QUOTE="coreya, post: 407188, member: 915"]When I said repo I was referring to the original rings given to SS members by Himmler during the second World War, these were known as The <b>SS-Ehrenring</b> ("SS Honor Ring"), unofficially called <i>Totenkopfring</i> ("Death's Head Ring"), was an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Award" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Award" rel="nofollow">award</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler" rel="nofollow">Heinrich Himmler</a>'s <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel" rel="nofollow">Schutzstaffel</a></i> (SS). It was not a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders,_decorations,_and_medals_of_Nazi_Germany" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders,_decorations,_and_medals_of_Nazi_Germany" rel="nofollow">state decoration</a>, but rather a personal gift bestowed by Himmler. This one is dated 21 12 43 with the name Dobler and the engraved signature of Himmler. Wish it was real but that would be highly unlikely! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie32" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie32" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie32" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
