    Himmler's Rings

    Does anyone have an idea of what rings Himmler wore or have close-up photos of HImmler's finger rings? I see a few photos of him wearing different rings and most commonly photos of what looks like a wedding band on left ring finger, pinkie ring, and TK ring on right ring finger. ANyone know what was on the pinkie ring - such as ss runes? Really curious.

    I've seen a photo of him wearing 3 rings on one hand! But, none of them are good enough to pull a good close up to 100% identify a ring..

    One ring besides his HR seems to be a black signet type and another is a Skull & Snakes ring.

      I'm assuming you're talking about the color photo where he's sitting there smoking a cigar. I don't know of anyone who has been able to ID those rings either.

        Does anyone have that photo to post?
        It'd be great to see it.

          Here you go on rings:
          Please note he is also sporting cufflinks but we have never been able to determine the specifics of these either.

            I thought the TK ring was supposed to be worn on by all on the left ring finger and the wedding band on the right ring finger. The famous portrait photo of Bouhler shows the TK ring on his left ring finger.

              Thanks for pic Jim.
              I wonder what that signet ring looked like, and what the stone was.
              Does anyone think it's possible that cigar was a Cuban?

                  Isn't this photo from the terrace at Berghof? Perhaps Himmler got a cigar from Göring?

                    That's what I thought. The wall behind him looks like it.
                    What kind of cigars(origin) did Goering prefer and/or give as gifts?
                    Jp

                    I wonder how much that butt signed by H.H. could go for on e-stand
                    (and with a photo of him signing it)

                    Sorry, getting of topic.......very nice photo of H.H. and some accessories. Thanks again.

                        I'm to way off topic, so sorry for that!

                        I believe Göring mostly smoked some cigars called "Cremas Finas", they where of course specially made for him......

                          Daluege and Rauter also wore theirs on the same finger but without another ring.

                            Thanks Jim, thats one of them.. Looks like 2 rings on 1 hand and at least 1 on the other..A good shot. I've seen it a little bigger/clearer,and I don't think he's even wearing his HR in that photo!

                            There is another shot,,black&white,,in his pale grey Allg. SS uniform. Wearing- visor, BO ribbon, GPB,sports badge, ribbon bar, holding a glove..
                            That photo looks like he's wearing 3 rings on his left hand [1 appears to be his HR] and on his right hand is a Skull and Snakes ring!
