    If it's the one on Snyder's site it looks okay but has been badly cleaned if my memory serves me right. I wouldn't buy anything from that guy good or not!

      Remember :
      All well and good, but none of us will live forever and all collections will go elsewhere sooner or later!

          Erich, I was thinking that myself but thought it better to pass the items to my sons and 'wallpaper' the inside of my coffin with some decent digital images of my collection

              My favorite quote from Richard Doetsch's The Thieves of Faith:

              "It is the desire to obtain the unattainable that drives the true collector. To possess what others cannot. Items thought long gone, lost to time, to history, to wars and ravage. And as the economic model dictates, price is truly a function of supply and demand."

              Your thought gives the whole idea a new twist ! Crazy modern times !

                One can obtain the unattainable if one has enough cash. Ask Steve Wolfe!

                      Great photos, Bob -- thanks for reminding us of the inauguration ceremony of the Temples of Honor! These photos were taken during the night of November 8-9, 1935 as part of the solemn services created to transfer the bodies of the sixteen Putsch Martyrs from their respective cemeteries to the newly-completed Temples of Honor awaiting them. After being received at the FHH by Hitler, the sarcophaguses lay in state throughout that night with a ceremonial guard provided by sixteen HJ members while the public was invited to walk among them and pay their respects. At noon the following day the sarcophaguses were ceremonially transferred to the Temples of Honor where they would remain in state, keeping their Eternal Watch, until they were removed and reburied in January of 1947, when the Temples of Honor were destroyed. Quite a pair of historic photos!

                            If you mean wear are they buried now? Bauriedl and Cassela are in a Munich Cemetery and most of the others have been disinterred because the fee wasn't paid on their graves.

                              Yes, in 1947 the bodies of the "Eternal Watch" were removed from their places in the Temples of Honor and reburied in local Munich cemeteries and, as Erich notes, they were exhumed over the years and most have been lost to history. The original burials of fourteen of the sixteen men killed in the Putsch took place at local Munich cemeteries so they were close at hand when needed for the ceremonies and reburials at the Temples of Honor. However, two of them were not local and their bodies had to be shipped by rail back to Munich: the remains of Wilhelm Ehrlich and Johann Rickmers arrived by train from Gralow/Warthegau and Vortlage/Westphalia, respectively. Since these two men were apparently buried in family plots close to where they lived, I have always wondered whether one or both of them might have been returned to Gralow and Vortlage in 1947 or later, by family request.
