The SS Totenkopf Ring: An Illustrated History from Munich to Nuremberg Hardcover – Bargain Price, October 28, 2008

This is one of my favorite research books on the Totenkopf ring and as it connects to the SS and Nazi Occult.I highly recommend this book to any beginners or advanced collectors of the silver SS Honor ring and let it be part of yourpersonal library.I am still doing research and love the photos and time put into this very special book.

great book for collectors, very accurate and informative. a bit 'text book' but still very good. go on line to some WW2 collectables dealers and get a reasonable reproduction ring to go with the book, great set.

There is such great information in this book. I recommend for WWII historians. Great for college level research in a WWII class.

I received this book in a timely manor but I was dissatisfied with amazons handling of the book. The package was in good condition but the book it's self had A long scratch or line across the front cover of the dust jacket. The very first page was folded in half otherwise the book appeared to be new. I chose not to return this item because of the time and trouble it would take. As far as the book it's self. I found it very informative and well written. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in this subject.

Excellent book with great pictures and details.

Wow an absolutely amazing piece of work..very well written with an awful lot of brilliant information ...a great read and a great insight to an amaxingly efficient and effective if somewhat flawed ideology and organisation....craig did a great job on this...

A book written for collectors by a collector expertly traces one of the Third Reich's highly prized awards, the Totenkpof Ring.The author has documented 200 of these rings, which he has observed, and makes the assertion that if 20,000 were actually issued then the survival rate is about 100th of 1 per cent. This truly makes this award one of the rarest for collectors today.Beautifully illustrated with large colour close up photos, the book examines the ring basics, award documents, presentation boxes, Rings by date and the Structure and significance and regulations.One of the very interesting sections is the one titled personality profiles which covers such persons as Herman Priess and the ring awarded to him which shows in the wonderful photos the ring he received.As this is a book for collectors it also covers the Bain of any serious collector - reproductions.The book is printed on fine glossy paper for excellent photo reproduction and at a little over 170 pages makes for fast reading.There is no other book out there that compares to this one, on what is a very specialized field of collecting. (Dare I say expensive!)A well researched and informative piece of writing, and if you are considering buying one take this particular book with you.I have a reproduction ring, award box and award document, so I was fascinated to learn what the various symbols, dates, and engravings actually signify.

I THOUGHT THE BOOK WAS VERY GOOD. THE WRITER SEEM TO KNOW HIS SUBJECT AND PROVIDED AN INFORMATIVE HISTORY ON THE TOTENKOPF RING AND WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE BEFORE AND DURING WWII. I RECOMMEND THE BOOK. MISTERLUGER.COM
