I don't really collect them,,but I have some.. My Uncles bought/traded for some when they were in Italy fighting and France on leave..
This one is one of my Uncles.. I thought it was a professionally made ring just hand cut on the cartouche,,but no.. He told me he traded a couple German medals for this [even came in a box!] It is all custom made,,out of steel and a bit of chrome plating [which he said came off in 2 weeks!]... Paris 1945

Here is an old article I wrote a few years ago: http://www.thirdreicharts.com/engine/inspect.asp?Item=1040&Filter=Gallery Now I still have 6 of my favorites,,,anyway. So I got this ring,,low grade silver,,put together firmly/nicely.. 1941 Wolchow 1943

Nice rings Gaspare! I always like when there is a story attached, and if its family it makes it even better. Here's my 1945 Paris of chromed brass. I have seen another one just like your pattern as well as a couple other designs.

D41,,,Wow, very similar!! Yours is nice,,looks like most of plating still on....
OK, here's 2 more from my Uncles collection. My family is Sicilian so you know he had to get a couple! I think the Palermo ring he bought [or traded] and had to come back a few days later to pick it up...
Both brass with a light chrome [?] plate on them:

Some rings were already made up,,or you could get whatever you wanted on them, with a little time.. Most had the city or country,,some had dates, military unit names put on etc.
