This item is a modern replica of a German Second World War–era SS suicide capsule, reproduced to accurately reflect the external form and markings of period originals. It is non-functional, contains no toxic substances, and is intended solely for historical display, research reference, or educational collections.

The container is machined from solid brass, matching the weight, proportions, and industrial finish associated with wartime examples. It features a knurled screw-cap lid and cylindrical body, closely following documented originals issued during the later years of the war.

The base is stamped with:

• “SS” runes

• “HAMBURG”

• “7/42” (July 1942 pattern reference)
  

These markings are historically inspired and reflect known manufacturing styles attributed to German wartime contractors. As with originals, the stamp is functional rather than decorative, showing minor irregularities consistent with utilitarian production rather than modern ornamental engraving.

When opened, the interior is hollow and inert. There is no glass ampoule, no chemical contents, and no operational mechanism. This replica has been deliberately produced in a safe, inert form to allow collectors to display an otherwise sensitive historical artifact without legal, safety, or ethical concerns associated with originals.
