UBB.threads Forums Thread Like Summary - Devil Face ring opinions wanted

Here is a recent pickup of mine that I'm trying to get some info/opinions on. This is a silver ring with a stylized 3D Devil face on the front. It is marked Iran 1944 with niello palm tree motifs on the side. It is almost identical to the other pictured rings other than composition(silver vs. Brass). I have seen a couple of these listed as German rings, although there sure weren't any Germans in Iran in 1944. I personally am leaning towards it being an unofficial unit insignia. If anyone has any insight or opinions, I would welcome them.

Saw this for sale too- a British ww1 ring w a gargoyle face - 1st glamorgan yeomanry. Dear God it's ugly as sin, but interesting! (Not for me, though...)
