he was employed by firma Gahr during a very brief period of the 3rd reich. It is unclear what he did for them. Maybe he drove a delivery truck. [?]
Don did know him, as did a few others who had correspondence with him after the war. I saw the letters.
Post war he did make reproduction HRs and other pieces of jewelry. One member of GDC posted his catalog of the pieces he made years ago. None were marked with Gahr. Some were marked with the SS culture marks [ overlapping SS runes].Comment

He made a few very high quality (post-war) honor rings but I never heard of him making any bracelets. His information can be found in both Don’s and Gottlieb’s honor ring books as well as some color photographs of his ring in Gottlieb’s book.
