Flak ring.

Does anyone have rings from this series with other emblems (tank, Luftwaffe radio operator, parachutist)? if there is, please write to me.

Very rare ring! Probably only other rare pattern from this series would be the Panzer ring...

I saw a photo of the whole series couple years ago!
The owner would not sell the photo, nor let me use for my research,,[worried about copies etc. being made from photo]. I did manage a quick note I hurriedly made with one hand while oogling the photo [tough trick!] anyway,,,

The series all the same material, all had a silver wash that probably came off within weeks if not days] all the same leaf pattern on side band.. There is the few you mention,,and also a big skull, a soldier blowing bugle,,and IF I remember ring a bunker similar to a WW ring. . Yes it would be nice to have the complete set!!!

I've seen a photo of the series briefly years ago.

- a common one or most seeen along with the Luft.Radio Operator / Air Gunner is the RAD emblem ,,,and a rare one of 'Man blowing Trumpet'. Panzer also a rare one and your SS is a beauty and rare one too!
- there is the Skull version and some type of bunker [maybe meant to be WestWall].

There you go!! Thanks so much Viki !!

I think there is others.. KM maybe,,it shows a mast of a ship on the cartouche... Also the bugle player without the 'West Wall' and some kind of bunker design..
I am going by memory but might have a photo or advert for them. I have 3 external hard drives full of photos / info. I'll start to go thru them when time permits...* Thanks again for the treat!!

* Sniper33,,I added to your original title for those who will do a search in the future. Please hope you don't mind:


I got lucky,,found some right off !..

The bunker I was referring to is this WestWall with eagle.. I think it is in silver and Odal and I had some discussion as to whether it was authentic. - BUT, the pattern is a good one [also have a period advert for this somewhere]..

2nd one 'Sieg' sometimes called 'Battle of Britain' pattern [Eagle over Lion]..

So far, counting photos and advertisements [line drawings] I have 20 different types [including here]..

This is not really accurate as sometimes line drawings were not made.. They would show/advertise a picture [line drawing] and wait a few weeks to see if enough orders come in the die would be made or completed.. IF none, or few orders many times the ring would not be made..
This was also done with jewelry , para-military pins, other pieces etc.
