SS RING OFFICER

STERLING 800 Silver
Ring Size USA and mm. : 10 3/4 (20,5 mm)

SS-Ehrenring, unofficially called Totenkopf ring or Waffen SS ring (“Death’s Head Ring”), was an award of Heinrich Himmler’s Schutzstaffel (SS).

Potency of imagery in SS brotherhood was not lost on its leader, Heinrich Himmler, and was clearly in his mind when early in life of organization he instituted Ring der SS (April 1934). Waffen SS ring prominently featured runes and mystical symbols of SS, symbols that played a significant role in magnifying the veil of obscurity and mystique that covered organization. The award was both a product of, and a source nourishment to hint of arrogance that surrounds all military units that consider themselves elite. Waffen SS ring der SS ring was not a National decoration and could not be earned per say.
