I was confused as I thought, Bad Tolz was what the US Army named the base where 10th group was stationed. I didnt actually know the name was kept from earlier times. I thought following the war the US changed a lot of the names including Tolz I know this was done in certain areas across Europe. Especially one which had SS connections I thought that would be changed immediately. I posed this question to a friend who served with 10th group earlier on and he explained the history further.
So having said all this the seller attempting to connect this to an SS unit is just a feeble attempt at making a pocket watch very valuable. SS items sell for thousands easily. A gentleman I spoke with who collected SS items paid over 10 thousand for an original SS helmet. The sad part is ten thousand isnt even the highest price I've seen paid.
