Early Totenkopf EKM

[octavian]

This beauty arrived the other day. A very early Totenkopf EKM. Matt L. pointed out to me it is a Staff EKM to be exact (thank you). This particular Totenkopf Regiment went on to be formed into the SS Nord Division. Hope you enjoy. I will use the pictures Karell took.

Nice find Octavian. Is this an identity disc? Plan to do some yard sale shopping or take in a gun show to see what I can find. So much out there if you can get it for the right price and is not faked. Best wishes.

Yes this is a Erkennungsmarken (Dog Tag). All the way from Russia. I too am waiting for spring to hit up the estate sales again. not much of them during winter time here. i'm sure families are waiting for better weather so they will have a good turnout.

Thanks Pal. Glad I was correct. Hate to look dumb. Going to try to score a nice M 35 helmet at yard sale. Just might get lucky.

Great find!

Another 6th Standarte for comparison.

Is this your Totenkopf EKM? I like it and if you decide to sell it let me know. Nice to compare too! Thanks.

[Glenn66]

Yes its mine but sorry, not for sale at this time.

[octavian]

Roger that Glenn. Hope you keep me in mind if you ever do decide to unload it to the market. A fine example of a true Totenkopf EKM.

[Glenn66]

Loaded and locked Octavian, should that day ever come you will be the first to know.
