Long story.
A long time ago, on a planet far, far away, lived a guy named Ron Fink. He ran a Collectibles/coin/sports card/militaria shop in Calumet City, Illinois. Ask Bob Hritz;he remembers him. Ron was collecting and buying when we were still dirtying our diapers. He had Himmler's steamer trunk with the name plate on it, one of those sterling silver portraits of Goering that Goering gifted people with, so that they could gaze at the Fat One's visage in their home or office, he had the ribbon bar for von Leeb or von Reichenau & it was legit and attributed.
He had a Japanese skull in a case from one of the island battles in the Pacific.
One of the things that he had was a 3 piece set for the Reichsautozug Deutschland. After a long time, he sold them & eventually that person sold them to me. After doing some research, I wrote and had published a short article in Der Gauleiter, published by Bob Treend. Bob saved everything and put some of the articles into a website on the web. Here is the link to the article.

Scroll down about a eighth of the way on the page and you'll find it.
Ulric of England saw the article & sent me a very nice note and mentioned that he also had the same overseas hat and it's internal SS serial number was only about 40 numbers off.
Take a look at the pictures and tell me if you think it is SS related or not.
After I upload the pictures, I'll finish the story by retyping a letter that I got from Wilhelm P.B. R. Saris of Helmond, the Netherlands...a very knowledgeable person.
Thanx,
Tim
First, some pictures of the armband. Notice the distinct SS type eagle. The armband must be wool; it has some mothing.
