The text of the presentation reads in part: "I award you the SS Death's Head Ring. The ring symbolizes our loyalty to the Führer, our steadfast obedience and our brotherhood and comradeship. The Death's Head reminds us that we should be ready at any time to lay down our lives for the good of the Germanic people...The Death's Head Ring cannot be bought or sold and must never fall into the hands of those not entitled to wear it. When you leave the SS, or when you die, the ring must be returned to the Reichsführer-SS...Wear the ring with honor!" Boldly signed H. Himmler. One vertical and one horizontal fold, two punch holes. Of extreme rarity. 30cm x 21cm.
