I have loved this ring for a long time and still do... really, this ring (plus box!) neatly represents the pinnacle of the art of ring design of the time and place... absolutely gorgeous.

Some cool and i think rarer italian rings G.!

This first one.
Yes, the Albanian eagle.
While having some contact with italian collectors in the last weeks i have seen some similar rings and heard about. Some of this rings should be for italian solders for the albainian campaign 1939.
And there friendship rings. Greater Albania (1941-1944)/Italy and Greater Albania/Italy/Germany.
Rather rare italian made rings. Showing albanian eagle and italian eagle or albanian eagle, italian eagle and swastika. I meanwhile have seen pics of some different patterns from such rings.
This Addis Abeba rings are campaign rings for the italian campaign in Ethiopia 1935.

Italian youth. I think brass with gilding (colour of pics is real not good). Very small diameter of the band from about 11 mm.

In the case of this Addis Abeba ring i think it is a ring from the pre fascitic era. I have seen the same pattern with fasces on.
