| DESCRIPTION |
|
It is offered for sale, an old pocket watch for military use, originally intended for the German army, but from what I have been able to find out, in the end, it was used by the SS.
The pocket watch is from the prestigious German brand Thiel. On the dial, you can see the manufacturer's logo, and below it, the code (Dienstuhr Heer) intended for military watches D017419H (see attached photos).
The pocket watch has a diameter of about 49 millimeters, not counting the crown.
On the dial, at 6 o'clock, you can see the second hand counter.
It has fluorescent needles, which are impeccable
Additionally, in the ad, I put some photos of a page from a German book specialized in military watches from World War II, where this watch model appears. The one that appears in the book, it is indicated, that it was intended for the use of the SS, and not the army, as could be deduced by the DH code. In fact, in the book, it is placed as an example of military watches intended for the SS. The book is titled "Militäruhren" by Konrad Knirim, and the information and photos of the watch are on page 446 of that book. I have placed next to these photos of the book, the watch that I have for sale, so that you can see that it is the same model. On the other hand, in the photo of the book, you can see documentation from a member of the SS, where it appears that this type of Thiel military watch was intended for an SS Brigadeführevision, commander of an SS cavalry division (see photos attached).
The pocket watch is in impeccable condition (see 4 attached photos) and works properly. The one that appears in the book, you can see that it is damaged, and it is missing the second hand, with which, the pocket watch that I am offering for sale, is much rarer to get in this impeccable state of conservation, and working.
Only the pocket watch is offered for sale.
In the auction, I have more items, which may be of interest to you.
The cost of postal shipping within Spain is 8.50 Euros. For shipments within the European Union the cost is 15.00 Euros, and the rest of the world 17.00 Euros.
