A Scarce Funeral Sash Presented by the Office of A.H for High Officials & Dignitaries
This is a high quality funeral sash presented by Adolf Hitler’s office for the passing of high officials and dignitaries. It is constructed of red (slightly faded) red ribbed silk that is tied into a bow. On the left end is Hitler’s personal national eagle, hand embroidered in gold bullion straight and flat wire with black embroidered details on the eagle, and with a tightly black embroidered swastika, all on a red wool backer. On the left side of the knot, a “window” cut into the sash for the placement of Hitler’s calling card or personal message about the passing, with a cellophane cover that is framed with golden embroidery on all four sides. Towards the ends of both sides of the sash are 44 mm long curled golden fringes attached to a golden tress. The sash measures approximately 593 mm in length, with each side of the sash being approximately 150 mm wide, with a 290 mm wide sash knot. Overall better than extremely fine condition.
