Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Are you suggesting, Sir, that you have have no Pipe in this Parlour?

[djpool]

Actually cigarettes and tobacco were considered Ration items and issued to the troops at a specified rate. Pipes were one of the items that could be purchased in the unit Kantine. As to SS Packung pipes I don't think so. The Army supplied the SS with their rations. H DV 86/1 specifies the following allowances for smoking products:

Smoking during the TR was highly discouraged, the SA cigarette factory was sold after some time because it was damaging for the image and against the health policy promoted by the regime. Besides that, items as these Fake SS packed pipes are common finds. Anyway if you're happy with your finding don't need to argue, you asked for opinions here, you had more than one and you're free to believe what you want.

Amazing

I find the Pontificators who Proclaimed these Pipes Plausible to be Prevaricators.

[Massimo F.]

just one question:
how's possible that all of a sudden the market is hit by so many "SS Pipes" at one time? Marked and Unmarked, with Special Xmas packaging (... like Swatches ) from the various eBay sites, dealers sites etc..? from Poland to France to Germany to UK ... WOW!!! so many lucky finds at once...

[Dennis S]

I thought that E-stand thread would be deleted by now.

Pipe Proponets

I have in my possession the Pipe given by Reichsfuehrer SS Heinrich Himmler to Oberfuehrer der Reserve Dr. Oskar Dirlewanger for his "Aktion" in the Warsaw Ghetto. I may put it on Estand and you can own a part of History !!

Wow

WOW, what a Honey! I have been up-upiped. Let's make a trade my Pipe and small box of stale Animal Crackers with the Label, "Reality Check". Even.

I just turned this one up, its a dachau find.

One of my Doctorate Degrees happens to be in "Criminal Justice" and my Investigative Instincts are telling me that you did not "just turn this up". That is quite obviously the Pipe used by the SS Underwater Demolition Team that operated under the Leadership of Gruppenfuhrer Michael Phelps.

More brilliant analysis: "it wasn't expensive, so it must be real."

All of that other crap (sewing thread, etc.) is cheap too, but is still just old junk that someone added a fake mark or tag to just to make an extra buck off the foolish.

If you can't see this stuff for the trash it is, go ahead and build a whole collection of it. In fact, I'll be glad to help. I'll sell you a Frisbe with an SS RZM tag for $10 (plus shipping and PayPal fees).
