Post your SS-Poster

[Max Wünsche]

Im with your mum on that one Tony.... Love that one.

this is one of my favorite Anton designs - even my Mom likes this one and she mostly hates my collection..

This is probably the best thread to post in. I've recently started collecting these myself, but I'm not sure what price range posters usually go for. I know it's probably 'whatever someone's willing to pay', but is there a range you guys think is appropriate? I don't want to overpay for a collection. If some of you can also check my SS Belgium Poster thread and tell me what you believe is a fair value, provided it's real. Thanks, I'm learning so much from you guys on this site, I even bought a membership. Scott

Scott - I think values were discussed earlier in the thread but they can go from a few hundred to way up into the thousands. Depends what it is - as in how desirable it is, what sort of condition it's in, and who is selling. Size will affect the value too - a postcard is worth a lot less than a poster of the same design.

As an example the Anton I posted above was purchased from a dealer for US$2500 which I thought was a great price considering the perfect condition and rarity, and that it was a specialized poster seller who normally jacks up the price considerably. I was expecting at least a $4K to $5K price to be named and that was 4 years ago. I can't remember off the top of my head what the size is but its roughly a 30" x 20" size. Probably one step down from the biggest size (excluding the really big two piece posters).

Hope that helps some.

Very helpful, thank you. I think mine is about 35" x 25" and it makes sense regarding the size and condition. I'm also collecting helmets so maybe see if someone wants to blow me away with an offer and put towards an SS helmet, otherwise happy to keep it love the color/design. Also, loved your site, really awesome stuff.

One thing I forgot - linen backed posters usually sell for a bit more than ones that are not. Helps preserve them and make them easier to handle.

That might not always be a hard and fast rule though. Depends how well it has been applied.

Hi Gian,

A quote from TonyS's webpage (Hope you don't mind Tony )

A recruiting poster designed by T. Bertau in 1944. Featuring a red dragon representing the communists (and the Jews) being slain by SS Runes and a German soldier throwing a stick grenade to finish it off. One of the most dramatic posters from the war I have seen.

This is an extremely rare Waffen-SS poster.

These are authentic. There are plenty of reproductions around though.

I've only seen three originals, including my one, one in the book "Propaganda: The Art of Persuasion World War II" which is photographed from the poster in the Military Museum in Belgium, and the one in Luc's collection.<o></o>

Luc's poster on his website has a different recruiting office address.

the one with the flemish/Dutch language is the rarest of both.
The one with the french language on it I had several times.
