Value Assistance Needed

[Craig Gottlieb]

Thought I'd probe the lines here for an SS Soldbuch that I am being offered. The book is to an Obersturmbahnfuhrer (later promoted to Standartenfuhrer). Book has an original Sepp Dietrich signature, as the officer was in the LSSAH circa 1941. He was a senior judge in Italy also. No combat awards, but it is a nice book. Comes with a formal picture of the same officer, and a couple of other very minor documents (of nominal value). Officer was in the SS as early as 1933, and rated the Honor Ring in 1934.

Hello Chris,

Sounds like a nice Soldbuch. Besides the points you mentioned there are other factors you are probably aware of that may or may not influence value. Condition is one, but again not always. Did a short stint in the Ist Division and then somewhere in between, and Italy. Was already an SS officer in 1933...that is neat. No combat awards. Now, just a few general questions. What awards are in the Soldbuch? Was he at least awarded the KVK...anything? Is the recepients photo inside, or was it removed? Is it complete or were pages removed? You will probably get varying valuations, but I would estimate somewhere in the Eur 800 to Eur 1000 region based on the information provided if it is a good one. Then again maybe less, or even more. Be also careful that it is not played with. If possible, please post scans should you buy it.

Normally, as a dealer, I would be interested in picking it up at slightly less than it's worth, but for some specific reasons, I'd pay full-bore retail for this particular book. It comes with a HUGE McDivot research file on the officer.

No combat award, but nice awards! I would say 800 euro

from the fieldpost number 21825 if read correctly, but I found the date hard to make out relates to the following if correct read as 1941:-

(25.9.1940-15.2.1941) Stab verstärkte Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler,
(16.2.1941-18.7.1941) Regimentsstab Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler

Hi Giel.

I would say an Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen im Bronze is a combat award

Yes I know, I wanted to say it sarcastic, but I failed bigtime, it was like no combat awards!?

Okidoki Giel, I should have known you're much too observant than your answer
indicated . Didn't mean to pick on you
