UBB.threads Forums Thread Like Summary - Another skull ring with snakes for review

Hello guys!
Interesting in buying this ring.
Skull is empty.
What do u think - original or fake?

Gaspare, u r best, ty for u answers!

Here is one I recently got in a lot of miscellaneous items

42.,,,There are plenty of guys here with very good experience with rings... Evgeniy and I met many years ago in Kiev. We both still collecting rings! - We have members from all over the world that have been here also for years and collect rings, and,, know their stuff!
- I agree with E. ,, That is a very nice well worn, 'been there' authentic ring.. - A good known pattern that is very old [early 1900s]...It can sometimes be tricky but after awhile you get the hang of collecting the good ones instead of the bad..

- So,,this at one time had 'gems' in the eyes. Usually Ruby [red] or sometimes Emeralds [green].. 99.9% of the time they are just colored glass!. You can find period and older advertisements for this pattern,,photos 'in wear' etc. With this skull and band type it is a early one.......Nice find,,,hope it doesn't cost a fortune.

Dave,,I'd say he's just like the other new members ,,checking their rings what they have and/or checking before they buy,,and nothing wrong with that.

Here’s new ring, which I bought. Same type, but other stamp. UFO skull
Have no doubts about originality, it looks good. Nice digged ring from ww2 pos.

For Gaspare - 130$

And ring from first photos have eyes now xd

That is a nice, original ring and a very good price. I paid a lot more than $130 for the same pattern several years ago, albeit mine is in better condition.

Regarding being dug or not, I wouldn't believe that claim unless I personally witnessed it coming off the unfortunate owner's finger. Too many TR rings are claimed to be ground-dug. Problem is, there is rarely any proof of it being buried during the war. You neither know when it was buried nor by whom...

Why do you call it a 'UFO skull'?

, - yeah some have that alien look to them!

- That skull is a very old pattern. Theres a Russian[?not 100% sure?] advert that is around 100 years old and has that pattern skull! - Used and was popular during, the early days of the 3rd reich. But soon sometime around the start of the war they started changing. The newer one used,,having the distinguishing features of the face was the upside-down heart of a nose... I'm not exactly sure [and I'm still researching about why] but it was abruptly done to all skull rings.

When your looking at Skull rings with 'Gems' in the eyes,,well there were only a few different cuts that were being used back them... There is a topic here about the different cuts used during the period.
,really worth the time doing a search on!

Being dug or not has no bearing on anything.... Ground dug is not a provenance for authenticity period.......

- Price is good. Some ask, or I do for others that are staring to collect so they will get some idea..... - I'm basically done collecting. I love what I have. There is a pattern or 3 I'd love to get and if its meant to be God will put one of them in front of me!
