I recently purchased what I've been after for awhile, a genuine Himmler SS Honor Ring and actually spent more than an hour on the phone with Don Boyle, who I found to be very open about everything concerning this hobby. I did not purchase the ring from him but he had certified it; the name on he ring also appears in Graig Gottlieb's book as one of 200 rings documented and recorded as original by Craig and Don. Mine is dated 21-6-44, a summer solstice ring. I also have an extensive file from the National Archives regarding his background before the war; he received the ring while a Sturmbannfurher. This is a great addition to my collection and if I could read German I'd be happier. Hope you enjoy the pics.
