          Pictures are not the best, but patina looks kind of heavy. Anyway, can make out some details typical for an original. Appears to be reasonably priced compared to other recent offers.

                Nothing proves these are authentic or inauthentic so far.
                But the England origin=fakes hypotheses is wearing thin.
                So this one was found in Germany, that makes by my reckoning 4 out of Northern Europe and NOT from England. 2 from the Netherlands as mentioned by members years back now and RD Rygaard's friend who found a ruined one buried in Germany.

                So 4 accounted from within Germany or the Netherlands.

                This is whittling away at the argument that as England had all or most of them that in itself proves something-one way or the other.

                  My post asking if any interesting period pictures featuring this box was in the group was removed. I think therefore that authenticity of said boxes are not for discussion on this thread.
                  Great grouping klaus of a man and wife's story , very interesting!

                    As this box was stated to have been found in Germany it is of utmost interest to me to note that salient tidbit of info. Especially as a few posts in this thread have already alluded to the contentions of "authenticity," as well as the England dealer connection.

                      How do you account for the box being in this grouping of documents ??
                      Maybe the box is original to the grouping - can you dismis this as proof?

                        The box is original to the grouping and I have no proof for it. Sometimes things just make sense.
                        The antiques dealer did know he had an SS grouping of course but he did not value the "crafted wooden box" as we probably would. He is not on the internet and he is not involved in our hobby. He deals with other things but people bring militaria from time to time.

                        So it makes no sense to this man buys this box somewhere to add it to the grouping for nothing.

                          Wow, I was just thinking Big Brother is watching, but you posted that question in the other thread.

                            This is almost exactly how I acquired my box (the one with the rider instead of runes).

                              Found in Germany amongst other ss items. Hmmm...I'm thinking it's Genuine to the TR period. Now, if we could just determine what they were used for. possibly a number of uses to include a storage of mementos.

                                I'm beginning to believe in these just because of circumstantial evidence. But I still can't tell how to tell an original from a possible copy, based on there being no books or agreed upon original example to work from. I don't see a reason why someone would produce any boxes post war, except to copy an original.
