This symbol, SS, is synonymous with this $$, as we all realize. But why do these things bring such outrageous prices ??

JR,
The prices are a reflection of what collectors will pay. Of course, there is the demand by the purveyors of fakes. An investment in original insignia can help to sell a dubious hat. The market reaches the level of happy buyers and sellers, it is just simple economics.

Understood Bob, and thank you. Do we have a reference guide on the site that lists makers and characteristics of these sets, or is it all spread out in the pages ?Comment

Yes there has been several threads (sorry I answer the question for Bob H.) and if you do a search you should find what you need.
Both makers, variants and photos have been shown and discussed by people like Bwanek, SS collector and others.Comment

The skull pictured is a Zimmerman made piece and will be marked 499/41 on the back. Very desirable, especially in this condition. Visor sets are extremely difficult to find when you're actualy looking for them so collectors tend to jump on them straight away.
