French campaign rings have always been around.. Usually a charm of the Eiffel Tower mounted on a blank ring with 'Paris' engraved on it somewhere for a soldiers sweety.. But with everyone collecting rings the last 6 , 10 years ago now everything is out there to take your money..
They usually look like this helmeted ring.. Bad design,, poor quality,, faults all over it.
Saw a ring on another forum that peaked my interest. From an old timer whos had it for years and from hanging out with old friends or something like that.... I could not give him an accurate opinion on it.. I contacted him and mentioned I'd love to see it in hand.. He mentioned maybe a trade!.. A trade!,,sure,, I have some stuff others might go crazy over but they are not dear to my heart.. So a trade was arranged..
After having it a week,, I'm going to give it a call. For my, my own opinion I think its period.... Its brass.. Rather plain. Has regular red enamel paint on it done a bit sloppy.. Had at one time a silver was.. At first I thought it was 2 piece,,,but its not..
So heres the bad fake,,and 2 of the one I traded for..
