A lot of guys ask about their DAK rings, Krim , Roma, etc... I own a series of photos of a semi bombed out shop selling DAK rings to German soldiers. Probably each ring a bit different.

As we know these were usually hand carved. Some a light [very light] plating to them. Some neillo painted [enamel paint]..

What we do see is various designs. Most repeating lets say around the cartouche. A design on the bands side etc. One tool looks like a wheel. Others were simple hand stamps..... With either they too were hand made. Iron and since they were going to be used on Silver most weren't even hardened or only semi hardened.

Anyone with a DAK or similar with the repeating design or embellishment please feel free to post..

Some stamps:

This DAK the red was a regular plain graver tool. The yellow could have been a wheel type..
