sorry guys....... I had the above all spaced out nice and easy to read.... GDC has been having a editing and posting problem...... Vern knows and 'is on it'...
When fixed I'll correct the above to make more readable....
Sure, GDC has editing problems : when I type more .......... I obtain few ??? not requested.......to say one.
About the ring, by the pics alone it appears very well made, smooth, well finished, ecc.??.all in all without having it in hands, I like it.
I'm sure more original are around and will pop up and probably repro as well.
