This next photo also shows a spot that has no detail and worn when it shouldn't be.. It is subtle to the eye but it is a problem.. With a few patterns you really got to be a detective. Check detail, wear etc. and comparisons... --- I do like the nose, the thin band, and inner where content mark is... [the rest of the inner band should be very smooth on this one]
The red on top of the bone. Is that a casting fault? Couldn't say for sure. I've had mine since the 70s. Seen many. Don't remember this fault...
- It might be from the working die. I am sure there were many made and they get worn and damaged etc.
But the real problem for me is that lack of detail, the wear below surface... Am my being overly critical?, maybe... IF this is a cheap $75. ring go ahead and take a chance,,if fake you got a good wearer.... Just my own opinion,,I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy this.. In the end everyone must make up their own mind....
My best advice, - * You should check other examples. - There should be one in the Skull Ring topic pinned at the top.
Anyone else have this pattern? Come on guys,,have a look,,does this pass for you as authentic? A one looker?
