I like the Finnish 3rd reich era rings. They are well made, Usually enameled, hallmarked/date coded etc.

So I've had this Petsamo march ring for many years. It's plated very nice and the wear not too bad,,,,but no enamel!!

These Finns I keep in a separate case with some 'other countries that were 'friendlies', collaborates etc. Ukrainian here, Estonian, Latvian, a Bulgarian youth, Albanian, CZ, Greek,,,,and some Germans the were causing a overflow...

well, a little patience and praying grin and I was very fortunate enough to get this ring at a great price...

The band a bit more worn than my first one , but!,, nice full enamel!

It can be hard to find this ring in full enamel. As you can see with the empty one its not such a deep field for the enamel and that curved cartouche usually gets you this pattern with damaged enamel..

That's a neat collection you got! I love the ring with the reindeer. I have a Swedish ring from "The Norrbotten Regiment" year 1943 ( panzer battalion ) in Northen Sweden near the Finnish border.
