I like the SA Trommler Cigarettes, a very unusual but neat item. Value? On a Good day, maybe 75 dollars. And, I rather like the "authorized to carry an automatic weapon" permit for SS Obersturmführer Ferdinand Krug. As far as value for it? Not easy to place an exact amount on it- probably in the hundred dollar range, but who knows? Depends on what someone would be willing to pay for it. No clue on the Gestapo Access Pass for Hartmut Wrobel. If it's Real, and it may Not be, it could be worth a good amount. Not familiar with the SS Wreath pin, but it doesn't look good to me-it may well be something recently made. I would not trust it and, at best, would need much better photographs to give a reasonable opinion on it. William

Hi and welcome!

Everything I have seen in this thread so far appears original. The only thing I don't feel qualified to comment on is the Himmler calling card. Not had chance to look at the daggers yet. But I would now like to comment on the SS runes badge.

I think this one may be good. It is a rare badge. A Dutch SS sports badge. IF original this will be valuable. Instituted in 1941 by the leader of the Dutch SS, J. H. Feldmeyer. The Sportteeken was awarded on an age basis as follows:

Bronze: Men between the ages of 20 and 29
Silver : Men between the ages of 30 and 42
Gold : Men over the age of 42

Cheers, Ade.
