On a shared note- odal and I thought we would add some Italian made rings here, all varieties... so, I'll start with a basic/classic- really nice aluminum pattern from African service, the camel. I wish it fit me, but it's about an 8.5....These were cut/sized/soldered, with the cartouche a chosen pre-made design soldered on as well. There were wings, crowns, crossed rifles, camels, tanks, etc. I have also a crossed rifles/crown on a pot metal ring too- so there were a number of varieties- please post yours! Here's a camel one anyway to kick it off...

Hap,,plain! they all basically look the same inside,,nothing exciting!
Now exciting is this ring guys... I have a full write up about it in the book with much better detailed wonderful photos..
This ring was featured here once before.. And,, MilitaryNut has a nice worn , but great shape example. I started my interest in Military rings around 1976. In all these years I've only seen 4. And mine has been the only boxed example.. Maybe this topic will bring out many more because as of now I consider this very rare ring.
This ring has all the Military emblems of the Italians/Fascists.. All very well detailed, high quality.

this isn't made the usual way. It is multi piece [13 or so pieces!] well done, high quality.
I got it from an Italian family. It was only worn a few times and came in its original wrapping and box when I got it. When you see the big photos in the book you will be amazed by the detail of the emblems.
OK guys,,keep 'em coming!!

Some cool and i think rarer italian rings G.!
This first one.
Yes, the Albanian eagle.
While having some contact with italian collectors in the last weeks i have seen some similar rings and heard about. Some of this rings should be for italian solders for the albainian campaign 1939.
And there friendship rings. Greater Albania (1941-1944)/Italy and Greater Albania/Italy/Germany.
Rather rare italian made rings. Showing albanian eagle and italian eagle or albanian eagle, italian eagle and swastika. I meanwhile have seen pics of some different patterns from such rings.
This Addis Abeba rings are campaign rings for the italian campaign in Ethiopia 1935.

Italian youth. I think brass with gilding (colour of pics is real not good). Very small diameter of the band from about 11 mm.

In the case of this Addis Abeba ring i think it is a ring from the pre fascitic era. I have seen the same pattern with fasces on.
