It is not at all correct to say that the lack of a tic mark next to the Totenkopfring on a Führerkarte means the person did not receive a Totenkopfring. I have seen plenty of examples to the contrary. One such example is that of SS-Obersturmbannführer Eugen Schlotter. No tic mark next to the ring on his Führerkarte, yet I have his ring right here with a date of 20.4.37 and he gave it to me himself! You can see the ring and read more about Schlotter here-
