    I knew it was gonna get hot when I saw those name tags. The Tychsen helmet shows white wash removal. Usually the name is painted on the back skirt.

        As known the inner concept of the SS was created and shaped by RF-SS Himmler as a Sippengemeinschaft which can probably translated as clan community.

        He was absolutely against a concept of a community consisting only of men because he was of the opinion that this would be too weak for what his goal with his SS really was:

        To introduce a new religion based on modernized pre-christian germanic traditions, cultic customs and the concept of blood and soil in his SS as primary stage before that concept would become the new basis for all Germans - in a huge germanic empire.

        As it is known this radical and inhuman concept - which in the end was the concept of National Socialism as a whole - included the plan to extinct any possible political, racial, ideological and religious enmity.

        And Himmler made sure that it was his SS realizing this concept which he clearly described in detail in one of his speeches in front of his literally hand selected corps of Obergruppenführer and Gruppenführer - his infamous speech in Posen in 1943, one of the most important historical sources depicting this concept which included the annihilation of millions of innocent people.

        Well, here is a personal item of an SS-woman, the wife of SS-Standartenführer Egon Dalski - one of the SS-members who was directly involved in the Holocaust.

        This SS Gahr brooch was a personal present from Egon Dalski to his wife.

        This unique piece survived and was kept by the daughter of him.

          This piece was published and pictured as one example of typical germanic brooches manufactured by Gahr in a period article regarding the firm of Karolina Gahr in the Frauenwarte in June 1938.

            This piece has been kept by Dalski´s daughter for decades.

            Her daughter - from whom I finally acquired this piece - did not know nothing about Gahr as well as nothing about that part of family history.

            After the war Egon Dalski changed personality and officially registered himself via the front name of his brother who lived in Switzerland.

              In one of his speeches in front of his corps of Obergruppenführer and Gruppenführer Himmler mentioned the fact that he presented to his wife a silver brooch made by Gahr as a wedding gift and symbol of being a mother.

              He advised them that it is his personal wish and concept that these hand selected high-ranking SS-members sitting in front of him shall act likewise.

              And within his SS Himmler´s wishes were orders.

                Honour rings are rare - but anybody who wants one for his collection has no problem finding one.

                Authentic Gahr brooches almost never show up - here is one of them.

                  To be precise I have never seen an authentic one for sale - and personally know only about one other piece published on page 93 within the well-known Gahr book.

                    Egon Dalski was the director of the german firm HASAG and responsible for their factories in the Generalgouvernement - as such he was the commander of the forced labor camp - ZAL (Zwangsarbeitslager) next to that factory complex located in Skarzysko-Kamienna.

                    He was an important figure of the SS in the armaments industry - one product of the HASAG known to anybody was the Panzerfaust.

                    Egon Dalski - who presented this piece to his wife - died in 1962.

                    He managed to remain undetected and untried.

                      From Hermann Historica auction 54, Lot Nr.7314 and with a photo of the actual brooch in wear, here's a brooch from a very bad woman: Florentine Rost van Tonningen:

                              Hi Etienne,

                              The brooch is not mine unfortunately, it was already sold by the time i found the link for sale, but it is an interesting object for sure and also fits within this topic about high ranking SS related persons.

                              As a historical person she's interesting (let us leave it with that and keep it about the brooches...im not interested in her beliefs).

                              I think it is striking though that untill the very end she kept wearing this kind of jewelry (on the other hand not too strange knowing her beliefs, but still interesting). If you do a google search on her a few pictures appear in which she is wearing a round brooch, it appears to be the same each time. If anyone has information about that brooch or knows of a better picture i'd love to see if it is a period piece.

                              best regards,
                              Gaston
