A-5 This is a RARE and authentic WW II Nazi Waffen SS Panzer Tank Officers ring that was on the body of a dead German Tank Commander found when Clark's father was caught behind the front lines during the Battle of the Bulge near the Ardennes Forest, France in 1944. It appeared that the destroyed Tiger Tank he viewed was the tank of the SS ring owner. The Deaths Head Ring has a low number of 835 engraved within the band. The low number indicates the officer was of high elite status among the SS. It is Sterling Silver. McClelland's father was later rescued by General George S. Patton and his Third Army when the Patton broke through the German lines and ended the largest land battle of the United States Army in WW II. He later liberated the Buchanwald Concentration Camp with Patton on April 11, 1945. Special note: Adolph Hitler was given the number 1 in the Waffen SS. Himmler, Borman, Heydrich, Hess, etc., were all much higher numbers. The Waffen SS had a reported number of about a quarter million members prior to the end of the war. The number 835 was an early member of the Waffen SS. Price: $7,500 firm
