It turned into a profoundly sought-after award, which couldn't be purchased or sold. Some SS and police individuals had nearby gem dealers to make ordinary forms to wear. In 1938 Himmler requested the arrival of all rings of late SS-men and officers to be put away in a chest in Wewelsburg Castle. This was a commemoration to symbolize the progressing enrollment of the dead member in the SS-order. In October 1944, Himmler ordered that further manufacture and honor of the SS ring were to be halted.
At that point, Himmler requested that all the rest of the rings around 11500 be impact fixed inside a hill near the Wewelsburg and, by January 1945, 64% of the 14500 rings had come back to Himmler after the death of the holders. Likewise, 10% had been lost on the front line and 26% were either kept by the holders or their family.
The whole look of the ring shows the Himmler's enthusiasm for Germanic mystery and incorporates the symbol of Totenkopf as well as the Armanen runes.
1. One 'Sig' Rune left and right of the skull confined by a triangle, which speaks to the intensity of the sun and vanquishing vitality.
2. A Hagal rune (confined by a hexagon) which shows to the faith and kinship that was glorified by the pioneers of the association. The exclusive significance of the Hagal rune was indicated by Guido von List, to: "...enclose the universe in you and you control the universe."
3. A Hakenkreuz confined by a quadrat. The SS liked to depict the Swastika as another compelling image of the intensity of the Aryan race.
4. The twofold runes on the back of the ring confined by a hover, which was to be Heilszeichen (indications of salvation) of the past. They were made of the SS creators as opposed to chronicled runes. They are "gibor" rune in addition to a bindrune for "o" and "t". The bind rune was made by Wiligut and spells "Gott" which is the Old German word of the God.
