SS marked ammunition

[Brig]

don't really want to post this in Wehrmacht Equipment, it's SS, so I'll stick it here. I have here some original cartridges marked with SS and SS-TV (Totenkopf), as well and DWM and 1938. It is my understanding that the SS was responsible for manufactoring her own ammo pre-1939 (these are typical 7.92mm Mauser cartridges). I've also been told that Hitler had these made because he wanted his SS to have 'the best ammo'. That's about all I know, and I am very interested in learning more about them, I have seen one other SS example and heard about a couple more, but never any more than that they exist. Came from a reputable dealer, no doubt on authenticity. INERT. Can anyone help point me in the direction of information? If anyone wants pictures, follow the link
