maybe I'm a little critical but..

Italian hallmarks are well documented. Usually no grey areas.
1872 - 1933 , either a crowned head or content and maker mark.

1934 - 1944 , this is the area we are interested in. Always a lozenge with a code number and the fascist bundle. Accompanied by the content stamp.

1944 - 1968 , they deleted the fascist bundle.

These rings go for big money now. What I'm worried about is that they are just about making a near perfect HR. The HR is one of the more difficult rings to reproduce too! That maybe they got around to reproducing these.. This ring should have the content and fascist hallmarks in it. And, recently I've seen a couple with only a single letter in a circle [and vent hole!]. For 30 years I'm seeing the standard hallmarks and just this year this is happening..

Lets take this slow and analytical..Is there a vent hole anywhere on it?
