Danziger Totenschaedel

[Friedrich-Berthold]

yes still with echoes of the kampfzeit - till hugo boss & co. gave the ss a showy black elegasnce. (he did design the uniforms, correct? or is that apocryphal?)

stay well.

Thanks. Die Kampfzeit, indeed. I do not think Boss designed them. The firm made them. I included its license number elsewhere.

This is an a-plus "scull" thread. Scrutiny of these badges is not so exhausting when considered like this, as a chronicle of change and historical mystery. We should all notice how the badges are authentic and colorfully diverse and retain their rightful place on equally authentic and diverse caps. This allows for the fullest consideration of the badges themselves, for those who have a particular interest in them. Great images!

Thanks. If they could only speak....

I did not pry them off, either, at least in the cases where I might have been tempted to do so. I leave these things alone.
