EUR 300

The design of the ring reflects Himmler's interest in Germanic mysticism. Karl Maria Wiligut has been credited with the design.
The ring shows skull and crossed bones - the SS symbol - on its top. The skull (or Totenkopf) was the traditional symbol of the SS, taken from other German and Prussian military units of the past.
The meaning of the skull described in Himmler's accompanying letter, literally:
"The skull is the monition to be prepared anytime to risk the life of our own I for the life of the entity."
Armanen runes appear prominently on the ring.

Runes seen on the ring
  • One Sig Rune left and right of the skull framed by a triangle represent the power of the sun and conquering energy
  • A Hagal rune (framed by a hexagon) which represents the faith and camaraderie that was idealised by the leaders of the organisation. The esoteric meaning of the Hagal rune according to Guido von List: "Enclose the universe in you and you control the universe".
  • A Swastika (standing on the vertex) framed by a quadrat. The SS liked to portray the Swastika as another influential symbol of the power of the Aryan race.
  • The double runes on the rear of the ring framed by a circle were to be Heilszeichen (literally: signs of salvation) of the past. They were a creation of the SS designers rather than historical runes. They are a "gibor" rune plus a bind rune for "o" and "t". The bind rune was designed by Wiligut, and spells "Got" the Old High German word for God.[2]    
The ring is wreathed with oak leaves.

On the inside of the ring was engraved S Lb for "Seinem Lieben" then the surname [only - no initials] of the bearer, date of presentation and a facsimile of Himmler's signature. Recipients also received a specially designed box decorated with the SS runes for storage or carrying.

Rare Judah Lion italian colonialist ring 1934, silver and gold.


if you want to buy it: yourantiqueshop@live.com
Really nice and rare colonial ring (probably ordered by a military officer stationed in or AOI), made ​​of silver with gold embossed designs of colonial-style ring is marked inside with the brand, made ​​mandatory by law since 1934 n. 305 for the identification of the silversmith, and consists of a lozenge inside with the number "14", the center fasces and right of the symbol "MI" that indicates the province of belonging. In this case it is a silversmith of the province of Milan, more precisely Locatelli of Milan. The diamond is accompanied by a punch oval containing the purity degree in milliseconds: "800." The ring is of medium to large (20/21 mm internal diameter), then the right hand of a man, and represents the "Lion of Judah", which in heraldry Italian military is the symbol granted to the units that fought in the campaign in East Africa. For the Rastafarians Leon of Judah is the symbol of the ilk of the land of Ethiopia, which they considered to be the nation's oldest and unchanged in the world. 
 The lion is the symbol of the tribe of Judah described in the Old Testament, which descended from Jesus Christ. On the sides of the ring are shown in relief letters in the alphabet Aramaic also plated in gold as the lion. E 'likely that the silversmith Locatelli has made ​​a limited number of these rings for official or officials who had participated in the campaign of Ethiopia, and that wearing it could disclose that personal involvement. This ring was found some years ago in Germany, during an excavation at Grafenwoehr where was the training camp of the division of CSR St. Mark E 'therefore very likely to have been lost by an officer who had previously done part of one of the Legions of Blackshirts used in East Africa.
