So there were nazis in the 1920s. And,,maybe even making rings in 1944 but other than the HR don't think that late..
What has been seen lately are a really rare but previously unseen ring show up. They are usually SS. The new quick enamel thats really hard [but not really glass].. There have been guys collecting rings for 40 years. I know one guy couldn't have seen everything . But a few hard core ring/jewelry collectors,,and they don't even have to be of military theme. They will all tell you similar things in what to look for..
Enamel of course. Period documentation. A 'in wear' photo,,,and with the morphing programs many are now leery of these photos. A ring from a U.S. or German Veteran which has sadly been coming to a end. Coming from the family with some kind of provenance.. And,, shape. Yes the basic shape.
Silver is a precious metal. Wartime there were shortages, even laws against 'wasting' it on such things as rings. Many of the rings we collect are a brass alloy but the shape is still basically the same..
One shot here is of a 30s US ring design. Another of a German blank..The German a bit wide,,but still tapers down before midway..
Thin bands,,,this was pretty much standard.. With our rings though we also see the tapering down of the band..
