      Ron, contact SoldUSA in Matthews, NC and ask to speak with David. He is a fountain of information about German wartime collectibles.

      Hello, Is there a silver content number anywhere on the tankard? I just saw one on ioffer.com, and it looks identical to yours, even the wear patterns, is this yours? My gut feeling is that this is a faked piece, for anything SS or Hitler related would come with a super high price. The engraving looks good, but a good engraver could do this script. I would think if this were an original piece the solder job would be much cleaner. I have seen many fakes, especially when it comes to engraved personal items since they would be one of a kind. All you need is an old cigarette case, goblet, tankard, and a good engraver, and you can turn it into whatever you want it to be. Many of these pieces come from eastern Europe. I hope I am wrong, but I just wanted to give my input. Please keep us posted as to the originality of the piece.

      I CANT MAKE OUT THE SILVER MARK , AND THE ONE ON I OFFER, IS DIFFERENT. THE EAGLE ON MINE IS REALLY DONE WELL, ITS JUST A BAD PICTURE. IVE CONTACTED DON BOYLE TO SEE IF HE CAN GIVE SOME IMPUT.
      ITS REALLY A WELL DONE PIECE BUT PICTURES ARE LOUSY.
