Hi , I wonder if anyone on the forum could help me identify this ring that I bought ?
I got it today from a local dealer who told me it had come from part of a large WW2 collection and that based on the other items they’d gotten from the collection they believed this ring to be an authentic German WW2 ring .
Having a better look at it when I got home it seems to be hallmarked silver but the hallmark , to me , looks to be made in Birmingham , UK and possibly 1940’s which seems odd .
I’ve not been able to find anything matching it online that has the same “ Meine ehre heist treue “ engraving in the inside with the totenkopf design on the outside .
To me with my limited knowledge it’s looking like a fake , albeit an old one , produced after the war and probably not worth much either .
Any help or opinions on this ring would be much appreciated , many thanks , Jamie
Apologies but having problems uploading pics

So a quick update about this ring .. I took to back to the dealers who were very apologetic and offered a full refund . In the end I decided to keep the ring and they refunded 50% of what I’d paid for it so a good outcome for me as I still like the ring even if it’s not an original .
After looking at the hallmarks in more detail pretty certain now that the ring was made in Birmingham by a silversmith called Albert Jackson in 1954 .

Jamie,,, Sometimes copies , especially old one do have some value to them... Maybe a couple hundred dollars maximum. Hopefully that's where your investment falls in to..

IF your looking for one of the best if not the best copies out there check Es rings:
