None of these logos on adverts above are same as runes on ring or machines.Comment

you are missing the point the ss on the machines are a makers logo and nothing to do with the SS organisation.maybe the SS bought and used some maybe not but they were used by German industryOriginally posted by Hapur View PostComment

Are there no dataplates on any of these machines?
Manfactured machines usually have a riveted dataplate or welded information about construction...------------------------------------------------

I am a believer that the logo is that of the equipment manufacturer. However, Friedrich Seyd & Söhne, whose logo comes closest, seems to have been a textile wholesaler...
Are there any other markings or tags on those presses? The way they look, chances are they all were used, or at least properly stored, post 1945, so there is the chance of them featuring their last, most recent, inventory tags. At the same time, with them being pretty old, they were probably sitting in some small family owned press shop that did not bother to keep them in the books and tagged. Still, perhaps there is something somewhere that dates back to their original manufacturer or owner...Last edited by Albert; 01-13-2018, 11:32 AM.Comment

A close look at the logo on the machines does not match those manufacturing advertisements. It does however look just like the ring pic that hapur showed with the longer center section of the runes. I don't know if it was an ss machine or a maker mark but so far the match is much better with the ring runes.Looking for a 30 '06 Chauchat magazine.Comment

Finding machines with actual SS story line is easier than you think

Agree 100%.Originally posted by Stive View PostIMO Letters SS are a logo of the producer. Machines have no relation to the organization SS

This ones closest and has a crown in the middle. This is just an ad with no date, not a die press. Plus, isn’t it a textile manufacturer? What would they need a metal press for?Comment

Now here’s a real SS fabric loom

Maybe someone really liked that textile company and so commissioned a ring with those runes.....Comment

There was not that much equipment makers, all of them are known. None of them has such logo.Originally posted by Lloyds View Post
That was common practice to manufacture such equipment in forced labor camps. For example below pic of drill press manufactured under NKVD (later KGB) from 1939. Pic taken from internet.Comment
