Over the years, the SS Totenkopf rings changed subtly in proportion and some details. This is an excellent ring awarded on the Summer Solstice (21.June) 1944. The ring is a perfect example of the 44 design, and shows relatively little wear. The ring has all of the things you want to see--every detail, tiny flaw, style of the skull, seam behind the skull, and so on. Engraved are the date, Himmler's name, and the recipient's name, which was Müller. As that's a rather common name, it will take some work to see whether this ring can be tied to an individual or not. In any case, it's a rare and choice piece in excellent condition!
