1510SO8 - Rare and early Schutzstaffel watch fob. This nickel silver medallion fob features a Hussar style toenkopf indicating early manufacture. The medallion is suspended on a black moire silk ribbon that has a silver bar with SS runics. The two-sided medallion displays the SS motto "Meine Ehre Heisst Treue" and totenkopf on each side. $750.

I'm not going to say another word...

I found around 20 years ago the bottom part only in Germany, Jim A. got one from a vet in the US.
Those are the only known one for me.
For copy the number is quite low, for me original.

Other than the price, I find no problems. This is early TR kitsch and not something official.

Out of curiousity, what is everyones definition of "early SS"?

[Stossgruppe3]

No ... It's not for me ...
It looks as if this has been put together
As you say " Not in a million years "

In matter of time frame I rate mid 1934/35 early.

I don't know about what others think but to me "early SS" means any SS item that dates to pre-1936

Thanks Robert and Rk for those replies. I hear "early SS" used on the forum from time to time and have come to the conclusion that others have a different idea of "early SS". For me it is the time frame 33 and earlier. Thanks again for the replies guys.

I would certainly make room on my wall for THAT flag.

Good luck with Oakleaf half the stuff on their site they do not have, I asked about a nice dress bayonet over a year ago and it had been on their site for sometime
She said it had been sold and the webmaster had not taken it down,
A year later it is still up for sale. I know a lot of people who have gone thru this
experience. This was not the only item I inquired about also and same story.
