Saw the advert on another site. Not above me for some piracy!.. [IF I knew the site I would give credits].

IF you see a ring or advert or info on another site you think would be interesting to show here please post. Simply just give credit,, 'Photo credit ABC forum',etc..

Original advert. I cropped then made larger so we could see/study whats shown..All seem to be 800 silver some with enamel ,, From 1916,,enjoy:

Attached photo: - Sorry I don't have the name who's collection these belong to. Usually I've give photo/ownership credits but this instance I don't have it. so,,,,:


- I am not really familiar with WW1 rings.. I know very few were from a mold. Most being from a die pressed like our rings.. Many were of high silver content,,900, 935, etc.
Most , especially these examples have plenty of colorful enamel.
Enamelling is expensive. And,,colors especially different shades are very expensive! And,,when you have to produce a large amount 50 + lets say getting them all the same is hard..

So is there anyone here that collect these unit rings.? Maybe have a example or 3 you can show us? The inner band finely finished off like ours? Are they usually hallmarked of any kind? content? ,maker?, etc.
Have the same soldered joining/sizing seam towards rear of band? Please, if you have an example put it up for those interested can see/inspect.. IF you have an old advertisement, article etc , put it up.. Much thanks...,G.
