I think these SS cuff links should have been discussed earlier. I doubt their originality:

It was once thought that the Gahr firm made them but that has never been proven 100%.... Also thought to be the 'birthday cufflinks'/ SS presentation pieces but that has never been proven either.
Who would buy them without some kind of research findings or better photos, or in hand inspection I don't know. Anyone spending any money more than a pair of current cufflinks just has too much money or likes to gamble.
* Only thing known for sure is that von Ribbontrop had a pair of the same exact pattern.

The cuff links look like something you could buy from Germania International. Bob Johnston always seems to have a spare pair!Comment

Seiler,,they are of the same basic pattern as the mismatched examples in the Silversmith book [yes no outside edging,diff toggle,etc].
Read my 2nd para,,,just being polite.......
As I mentioned the Ribbontrop pair are the only 100% documented examples known.. If you know of any other pairs with good provanance please let us know I'd love to see them.......Comment

I well remember the hysterics of some so called
esteemed Members of a couple of Forums.SS experts
my butt!Never ever resolved because "they"had no
answer but plenty of yada,yada,yada.
So thanks but no thanks G.What I know is mine and stays
that way.The "Doubting Thomases"can do their own research.
Best
