The MK boxes, if genuine, and if they were meant hold a wedding editon MK and used for the SS wedding ritual, then they would be part of the key religious ceremony of the SS which is documented. Other objects used in this ritual are the Julleucter and the Wedding plate. There you have relevant Allach and a wooden object to compare to which are well documented.
This is the point as I see it, its not a general iron or wood household object and cannot be compared to such things, its allegedly a part of the paraphenalia of the most important SS ritual, with all its laws attached designed to maintain the purity of SS blood for the whole SS-Sippengemeinschaft.
I have no idea if they are real but they look quite nice. There's no documentation on them at all as far as I know, just the wedding edtion MK fits in them which brings the association with the wedding. But then, maybe its not, maybe Weitzel had a few made up to give Christmas present MK's to his men In Oberabschnitt-West
If they are the real deal, something will turn up, so keep looking
Capt', nice wedding themed picture!Last edited by Steve T; 09-03-2011, 11:32 AM.

Yes, there were ceremonial wrought iron candleholders designed and manufactured by artists being members of the SS or at least in contract with the SS.
An interesting and well documented (with preserved pictures taken in the period) case are the two ceremonial Sippenleuchter designed and pictured by Walter Franzius and executed by the SS-Burgschmiede (castle smithy) in Wewelsburg castle - for the use in the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus (village community house), today the restaurant Otten´s Hof.

My point was the ceremony of the wedding and pieces that would have been made in greater numbers to enable them to be present at all SS weddings and there is no documentation that has come forth that includes an MK cask in the proceedings but we do see the for example the wedding plate.

not sure why this matters really. Its not like they are coming out of India or Pakistan or somewhere. Didn't a lot of items get taken home by the winning allied nations after the war? Seems I read that somewhere....hmmm. You can also find a whole bunch of daggers in the USA from Wittmann and Johnson. Are all those fakes?
And how do you explain the appearance of these in Robin Lumsden's books? Is that some sort of cask conspiracy to make them look genuine?

Ask any of us guys who beat the bushes in the UK, its not there in the quantity that is is in the USA. Due of course to the British guys not bringing as much back due to threats of court marshall on the way home. certainly didn't have the opportunity to ship boxes home like the Americans did.
But SS casks-no problem- loads liberated and returned to the UK didden in kit bags,don't think so!
I've thought for years that these are coming from or the main contacts for them are UK based and simply drip feeding them on to the market.Last edited by Jon Fish; 09-04-2011, 03:13 AM.
