to ring-man:
I think the earliest (silver)- copies here in germany are sold to veterans and collectors in the early 70ies.
I - myself - own a ss-ring, given from the brother of my grandfather in 1972 or 1973, but complete fantasy and grand-uncle Albert was in the SS (Div. "Das Reich")
I think much copies and fakes are all around - some copies from original old dies - hard to say which time some rings made.
Sorry my english.

regards
