Germany, SS. A SS-Issued Patriotic Badge by Otto Gahr, with Case

(SS Abzeichen). This is an extremely unique and well-preserved example of a SS-issued decorative gift badge by Otto Gahr, constructed of silver. The obverse depicts a central, richly-detailed ship with crew visible on the deck and sails deployed, on top of stylized waves. The ship is in turn circumscribed by a detailed wave design. The reverse is plain with the exception of engraved double sig runes of the SS, a barrel hinge, a horizontal pinback, and a round wire catch. The badge measures 38.63 mm in diameter and weighs 5.5 grams. It is accompanied by its period original case of issue, constructed of heavy cardstock with a faux blue leather exterior. It features a white satin-type lid liner with an intact hinge cover, recessed blue felt medal bed, functional magnetic metal spring catch with exterior stud release, and functional magnetic metal hinge. The lid liner is stamped with a maker’s mark of “Gahr, München”, for the firm of Otto and Karolina Gahr, along with the double sig runes of the SS. The case measures 71 mm (w) x 71 mm (l). In overall extremely fine condition.
