How about the SA ring you just made! Sounds like a good candidate.
All the rings look good this year.

and last,,, while not a super rare ring but one I needed which for me is getting harder by the year! this nice Panzer/Tanker.

There were a lot of nice rings this year!.. You guys have a look around and post what you think..

Rare is what to look for. Expensive sometimes doesn't always make it, nor condition..

So look around on the back pages.... We can do Ring of year and Jewelry piece of year [brooch, cufflinks etc.]

Yes Ron the SA is at least a dark horse but disqualifies itself as a postwar production! It definitely has 2017 on it though! Im having trouble posting pictures again but I think the Uber rare ss enamel G and I found at max (even odal was there on the call when I bought it via long distance email opinions!) is my entry for ring of the year.

guys,,there's a lot of rings from this year.. Take a look back!!. Some guys are modest and won't post their rings..

Should be split maybe though..
Private Purchase,,,and Hand Carved or 'campaign ring [like a DAK]

Thing to consider: = Rarity


I like Mikes Blackie,,his Silver and black SS rune ring he got at the MAX
- a good 2nd place would be Odals Patriotic Swas ring.. Just something about it!!

For hand carved/ campaign,,I will leave it to you guys since I'm really not studying them.. You can also do a 'Jewelry item' if you want- a Brooch, cufflinks, bracelet, etc.

So come on,,every member, from where ever you are,,cast a vote. Show a ring from last year you really liked or vote for one of these! Hey nothing wrong with voting for your own either! So as they say,,Vote,,and Vote often! wink grin

And a happy hunting wish for 2018 for all of you!
