Heinrich Himmler Signature

[BOB COLEMAN]

I thought this might be a nice add on to this thread. Among the Arnold material was this book on Tibet. It is well known that the SS mounted an expidition to Tibet to study the native people being possible ancestors of early Aryans. This book was a Christmas gift to Arnold Sr. from Himmler. The dedication is dated 21 December, 1939.

About the time I think you are tapped out on amazing stuff you wave your magic wand and behold Himmlers signature and a picture of him signing it. Plus an autographed book.
WOW.

Truly awesome my friend! The SS Ahnenerbe expedition led by German Zoologist, Ernst Shafer. I love this stuff.

Great stuff Bob, what an interesting collection you have there. We all like to have good provenence with our collections and you have certainly got that covered with these fantastic pieces, it's great to see them mate!

An opportunity lost, Bob! You should have simply posted the signature and asked opinions on it! After several days of debating, you could then have said "Well..I just happen to have this Photo of him Signing it!"...lol

[Dean]

Yeah, Thanks for sharing this historical Arnold collection w/ Himmler provenance . The only TR issue book I own is this one (minus Himmler signature!)

Fantastic. What a great grouping, and a pleasure that you are sharing with us all. Again, thank you Bob.

p.s. As shown in the photographs above, that style of handwriting by Himmler is very unique. I love the flair he had to his writing. Pity, nobody will write like that in the future...as computer keyboards don't require any form of style.

An interesting idea. I would not want to embarass anyone. However, it would have been fun!!
