Ric,
Thanks for reminding me, you actually were the first. Ric, have you shared any of
your 8 rings on the forums GD or WAF?.........

Then you can find two more published on Antonio Scapini's book (pag. 88-89-90 and pag. 96-97)
I can mention a rare 24-12-33 dated honor ring (pics posted on World War Militaria Forum now disappeared).
Of course not only '30 rings (my preferred ones) , but two '40 : 9.11.41 and 20.4.44 dated (this one mint)
Now the reason of my request : in 2013 I was lucky enough to have in hands for study in depth the best repro never seen before, let's say a super fake almost perfect but not 100 %. I sent to Don some close-ups along with my doubts and then having him the ring in hands confirmed my suspect. Well, your ring has a feature shown by that super fake, but do not ask me which one as I will not tell you.
So if Don released his CoA then appears obvious such feature may appear on original ones as well, differently I suggest you to ship the ring to Don for blessing it.
