Some manufacturers will make their rings with all the same band design. Could be to save money, could be for recognition.

This ring has the oak leafs and acorns on it and always arranged the same, the cartouche would come in different designs. They'd come in brass alloy and silver. Haven't seen one with a hallmark.
This Flak pattern has got to be one of the rarest! Ground dug to mint this is one pattern to get!

b1, do you have a 'before' photo?

Oh yeah,,, IF bonny1 doesn't mind,,,IF anyone has any more from the same band design please post here...

Here's my Skull pattern I just got from the MAX. Another rare one [but an ugly one].. These Oak band style rings are very hard to find in very near mint condition. The guys must have really liked them as they always seem very worn / banged around,,,thats how I like them too! wink

Great looking skull there too, g...I always like when they're worn, with a good bit of patina to age...perfect. Love it! Great pickup.
