Re: The SS price list ca. late 1934, details on cap insignia, or "dead heads and more...."
In connection with this pissy comment as to the wear out time for the old insignia and the lag in the production of the new insignia, one should read the Kaienburg book on the SS VA to the effect of the budgetary pressure on the growing SS within the frame of the NSDAP and the role of thrift in all of this. Such may be less than apparent to a collector with no sense of the past, and also heedless of the context in the larger organization. Pohl's relationship to Franz Xaver Schwarz was significant.
Many details illustrate the bigger whole....

Prices for these items were set in a difficult process. between the guilds, the state, and the party, as well as cartel like organizations to restrict free trade.

Here is the heading of the SS price list, published in two parts on a semi weekly basis in the Mitteilungsblaetter in late 1934.
Notice that a separate, fold out edition was also proffered.

The above is in Mollo, by the way, but not in the original German.

This stuff did not cost so much at the time, no matter what the author of coffee table books might believe otherwise.
