[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 407217, member: 5833"]When you said repo, I thought you meant it had been repossessed & [edit: I] was unaware of Himmler's connection to such things. I don't know how you could authenticate it, but see no reason it couldn't be genuine. There must still be a number floating around. Not sure a repro would be engraved with a date & specific name other than Himmler's, then given this worn down look. Could have been cast from one that was, I suppose. If you made them by the hundreds, all with the same name & date, they would soon be exposed as forgery. Are they worth enough to go to the effort of engraving individually with different names & at least a few different dates. (I'm imagining that he would have awarded them in batches.) What happened here with the photos suggests these can be hard to sell. You may still find some useful bits in the conversation: [URL]http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/third-reich-rings/how-verify-authenticity-ss-ehrenring-197341/?s=76f8ada9f4ee1f87a18892b2853e12da[/URL][/QUOTE]
