          Very nice ! Thanks very much for the pics.

          I'm noticing a slightly dipping ring and a dipping "3" of the 1939 - clearly a Souval RK from what I can tell.
          Seems like Wabro chose a Souval KC replacement in the post war years instead of a 57'er variant - not uncommon and very nice to see.

                      document seems a bad fake ... burgdorf signature is extremely sloppy !!!
                      just compare it with the correct signature of the next document you posted.

                        It could be the quality of the scan..

                        I would like to hear the opinion of other experts as well

                          In fact very bad scan of Engels RK EK VB (substantially stretch),
                          but the documents is without visible blunders, both from the historical and from the typographical point of view.

                                The Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords attributed to SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Prieß

                                I think this come from the book: "The SS Totenkopf Ring", by Craig Gottlieb

                                Anybody knows anything else about this set?
