Can anyone point me to an exact chronology of the use of the SS double Sig Runes?
When (day, month, year) were they first used as a symbol of the Schutzstaffel?
When (day, month, year) were they first used on collar patches?
How long did they appear on collar patches together with a unit number, and when did they begin to be used alone?
Regarding the SS-Ehrenring, was it Diebitsch or Wiligut who really designed it, and what day, month, year was it first presented and worn?

Re: SS Runes and Rings
I can only give you a partial information.
Following the order of May, 5th, 1934, new insignia has been laid down for the Politische Bereitschaften.
* The Leibstandarte "Adolf Hitler" retains its own insignia ( Armband with the inscription Adolf Hitler), collar patch; Right collar patch with SS runes.
For this reason, it's considered as a clumsy and ugly ring.
