yes that is a great Tripoli 900 stamp and hallmark! good question would be why some are hallmarked and T stamped with (silver content) some are just T stamped and some have nothing. i think fakers would stick to the nothing. but who knows! oh yah! ive also seen the T900 or T800 stamp on the outer shank. heres a beauty!

Todd, as far as the missing "1", it happens, dont sweat it. I have a number of mistake rings, and an artisan made Italian silver ring dated "944". These guys cranked them out for the troops, and soelling be damned! Also, very very cool pics,G I knew how they were purchased, just never saw the "transaction"!

I kind of like them too, for their personality, and simple designs. The top of the Oran ring shows the Atlas mountains in Algeria. And I like the feel of the old world craftsmanship in them too, even when flawed. I collect different "place names" so to speak. Surprising how many there are..

goodtimes,,DAK41,, and the rest of you DAK ring collectors, I know you guys will appreciate this one [?] I don't collect them,,I like them, but only have a few representative pieces. This is one. A gift from a collector years ago at the MAX for always helping him out. It IS a gigantic ring. Big in size, shape, etc. a big hunky ring. And,,,unfortunately its been de-nazified!  yeah they really did a number on it , just like it was wiped clean off!

, no , no content stamp,,but it does have the big square Tunis stamp..
I think at this next MAX I'll use it as a prize!
There are usually 6 or 9 ring collectors I see at every MAX. At the last day of the show,,,who ever has gotten the best ring , cufflink, tie clip, watch fob, at the show will get this ring for a free prize!!
The items must be military theme,,and be from Germany/Axis. We'll find 3 collectors and what ever they think is the coolest piece will be the winner!

G your enthusiasm for our collecting niche is infectious... I had a related idea about a traveling trophy of sorts for the ring of the year... let us not forget Götz has this honor- two years running!
