S.S. Cyanide Ampoule container.
This is an exact replica of one of the the containers for the cyanide capsules that were manufactured by the S.S. and issued to S.S. personnel and top ranking Nazi officials during WWII. It has been recorded that Heinrich Himmler personally offered these to those individuals who remained in Hitlers Berlin bunker in April 1945 and Himmler took his own life by this very method. The tubular container is turned from brass and has a threaded lid which is stamped with the original manufacturer, SS contract number and date: 'Tesch u. Stabenow, Hamburg, S.S. 77/42'. The glass ampoule in the picture is for reference only and is NOT INCLUDED.
