I'll spare the whole saga- really made my move after one email confirmation from Gaspare... Won on eBay auction -seller from Niedersachsen. Early piece in great shape-- initials read "I.J." (I think) and the date is clearly engraved as "25.10.1935." Lots of patina but in phenomenal shape- skull is hollow but still attached nicely. box came with it, but does not appear to be original to the ring, although a period ring box. Smaller size maybe 7 1/2 USA men's. Nice laurins mark and silver content stamp behind skull as it should be. Join seam is in rear, but looks like jeweler did a nice job with seam scar. Posted from Northeim- I believe it's very possible that as SS junkerschule Braunschweig ( which opened in mid 1935) is right there- there may have had a young man that got this as a grad present or a birthday gift.
