I am being offered this ring on trade for one of my items. Had it on another forum and they directed me here telling me I?d have better luck on an answer. They told me the number 835 is the silver percentage (83.5%). What was this awarded for and is it original? He has it valued at $650. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Dalton,

These two links below, should shead some light on the history of this ring.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, that actually helped a lot. So is this one original, rings aren?t my expertise

hi johnny rocket
you are right on target with germania internationals he sells these rings and a lot more this type ring has been on the market in the last twenty five years maybe thirty they were surposed to be left over rings made for so called high ranking officers like general and up they also made ss lightning bolts with the oakes on each side the above story is a crock of donkeys poop the craftmanship on this ring shown is just terrible compared to the early made ones from twenty five years gone by those they had nice black enameling old ones very impressive ring but sorry fake fake and the story is a big lie hope this has helped you guys happy fourth july america god bless all andy militarynut

CRAP RING. sorry, but at some point come ON. If the seller is reading this I have a bridge in Brooklyn I have to sell YOU.

My Advice would be this simple statement..."A multitude of counselors would be of GREAT VALUE in this case". Lets see what the consensus of the Forum is. They are the ones who have a collective knowledge that has been invaluable to me and others over the years.

I'm not an expert on these rings, but love the subject.

Well thanks guys, looks like I need to study up before getting into rings, or just keep making threads lol. (This would have been my 1st if it wasn?t for y?all).

A very wise choice my friend.

yes a fantasy,,a 4th reich ring.. There are all sorts of super rare variants and from all branches of their service... Leave them be..

Best advice for you,,,look at the topics pinned at the top... The WestWall topic, The Skulls, the Patriotic ring topic... Look at they quality. The thinness of the bands,,the glassy enamel, the inner band finish, etc. etc. Even the Cufflink topic....And plenty of back pages to look at too ,,so have a look, learn and enjoy....,G.
