| 1 SIDE TO THE NSDAP CAPE CLASP-RARE. The NSDAP cape would appear to be extremely rare as Clark does not show an example of an existing specimen.

It is two piece gold aluminum of the highest quality. It is the catch side & the catch features an oak leaf motif. It has a silver aluminum backing plate with 4 gold colored flat pins.

| NSDAP PARTY MEMBERSHIP BOOKLET FOR THE SA BAND-MEISTER OF STANDARTE 6 BERLIN-BRANDENBURG, AND THE OWNER OF AN SA HONOR DAGGER. Early 1927 issue booklet with 40 pages. Cover shows early eagle in gilt but most of it has long since faded and it is now hard to see. Booklet was actually issued in 1931 with a Schwarz stamp. Owners party number was in the 289,000 range so he was not entitled to the gold party badge. Owner was born in Helle in 1883 & when the booklet was issued was living near the Tiergarten in W. 35-Berlin. Owners photo shows him in civilian clothes. Dues stamps start in 1931 & continue until 1935. 1935 has the special Reichsparteitag stamp to indicate he participated in the rally that year.
The best part are pages 22 & 23. Page 23 has a sticker showing his promotion to Obersturmfuhrer in Gruppe Berlin-Brandenburg on 20th. April 1934 (Hitler's birthday)
Page 22 also has a sticker naming him as M/Z. Fuhrer of Standarte 6, Berlin-Brandenburg on 15. February 1932.
Best of all, under that is a handwritten statement in Sutterlin script that on 6 April 1934, he was awarded the honor dagger of the SA. Complete with Standarte 6 Berlin-Brandenburg red rubber stamp.A word about this entry in Sutterlin script. Since I am not fluent in German & most of today's young German's cannot read Sutterlin script-you might ask how it was translated. Good question. My wife used to work for a German businessman here in California. He was highly educated & spoke several languages. When he was a teenager he was in the Hitler youth. Even he had a little trouble with it. However he came up with the following translation. 'Sturmfuhrer Georg Horst, Bandmaster of Standarte 6 belongs since 15. December 1929 without interruption to the Standarte, and has the right to carry the Honor Dagger which has been awarded by the Chief of Staff'. As a footnote even Goebbels himself stated in December 1940 'I begin by pleading for the abolition of the so-called German script. These days our children have to learn eight different alphabets. And our German script is a great barrier to German becoming a real world language'. RARE. RARE |
| NSDAP POLITICAL LEADERS BUCKLE. 2 piece alumium buckle complete with both belt keepers which have an oak leaf pattern running up their length.

Front of the buckle is silver colored as are the oak leaf parts of the keeper. The back of the buckle is gold, as are the rest of the keepers. Looks as if somebody may have painted it silver at one time, although Angolia's book does mention silver colored buckles. |

On the obvserse is the HJ emblem surmounted by a scroll with the words ‘Heim der Hitlerjugend’, (Home of the Hitler Youth) and on the reverse the inscription ‘Fur die Forderung der Heimbeschaffung der Hitler-Jugend’.

| TOTENKOPF-STANDARTE 'OBERBAYERN' PHOTO ALBUM WITH FLAT SILVER CUFF TITLE ON THE COVER. This album was formally owned by a member of 'SS Sturmbann Dachau/Wachtruppe, SS Totenkopf-Standarte 1 'Oberbayern', or SS Wachsturmbann 1 Dachau. This is probably the finest Totenkopf-Verbande photo album still in existence. An 'Oberbayern' cuff title in flat silver is laid into a recess diagonally on the cover.This 1st. pattern cuffband was introduced about 1936 & worn until September 1938. 14 1/4” X 10”, 22 leaves, approx 99 photos ranging from 1 3/4” X 2 1/4” to 3 1/2” X 5 1/2”, I on shoulder straps for Standarte 1, 9 on skull tabs for 9th Sturm or 9th. Hundertschaft. Mollo's book indicated that III Sturmband comprised 9th-12th. Hundertschaft. It is in excellent condition. Page #1 contains a view of Eickeplatz & the living quarters for the T.V. Page 2 shows the main gate leading into the SS complex with a big eagle & swastika towering over it. The building on the left was used by the Central Construction direction of the W-SS & Police. This same gateway is shown in the big Dachau article in 'After the Battle' bound volume #7, page 20. Another photo in this article also on page 20 shows the outer checkpoint to the SS camp, now under American tenure & taken in December 1948. In the background the main gate can be seen with the big eagle already gone. Another picture in the album shows what I believe is the SS married quarters with a huge eagle & swastika above the dorway. Page 28 of the Dachau article shows this same building without the eagle, taken many years later. Page 3 has among others a shot of 3 members of the unit with very clear sharp shots of their 'Oberbayern' cuff title. Another shot shows members of the unit in their canteen with a big portrait of Hitler on the wall. Another shot shows the unit's complete band & Schellenbaum marching towards a sign over a gateway that reads 'Die neue heimat grust Euch'. Another shot shows the the Schellenbaum proudly leading the unit's band. Another shot shows the entrance to a concerne with sentry box & guard & a big sign that reads 'herzlich willkommen in der neuen Garnison'. Another shot shows a funeral with honor guard & SS runic flag. Another shot shows the unit's honor guard with the SS battalion flag. Another shot taken at the same time shows the rearmost elements of the band followed by an officer on horseback, followed by the color guard party & battalion flag. The flag bearer is wearing the model 1938 SS gorget. Another shot shows the band & Schellenbaum. The last shot shows the unit presenting arms at a funeral. There are no captions in the album-no names of personnal or places. |
