I saw this posted up on a Facebook collector page this morning by Don Boyle, and I thought it was rather interesting, so I thought they might be appreciated on here as well. All photos by Don Boyle via Facebook....

Thanks for posting the photos on the WAF,
as I don't do Fb.
In case DB needs to sell his to
buy some shoes, I'm noting previously on the WAF
in t=557602 from 2011, where the printed version
are said to sell from $1K-1.5K USD, & the bullion
types at ~$3500 (c.2007). See one to find below.
(below) The AH Funeral Sash to find, if it still even exists?
(below-2) Another period use photo of a AH funeral sash.

Is it known how many of these were presented at funerals from Adolf H.?
I guess it must be quite a lot!Comment

Here is my example with a printed eagle.
I have seen a good number of variations, some with "Der Führer" or "Der Führer und oberste Befehlhaber der Wehrmacht' instead of "Adolf Hitler", with a printed Fuehrer Standard instead of the eagle, with the bullion embroidered eagle with the bullion embroidered Fuehrer Standard or just the eagle, etc.
The variations imply criteria for use of one or the other. I imagine it depends on the rank of the deceased if military or political leader, the individual's civilian status, or, if foreign, on the person's importance, military or otherwise.
Does anyone one know of a protocol that might exist for the presentation of a particular Fuehrer Kranz Band?Last edited by paulj; 10-20-2018, 03:22 PM.Comment

IDK zip about the FKB's on rank vs. quality,
or the use "protocal" on same. But IMO the
swinging ball font (name?) on the shown
all printed version seems very interesting.

There may be in issue about just when the sash was issued. I have seen all bullion and bullion combined with celon......depending on how early in the Reich they were issued. The total lack of embroidery may have something about how late in the war they were needed. I also have seen smaller ones that were presented on a stand and not draped.Comment
