I like the Finnish 3rd reich era rings. They are well made, Usually enameled, hallmarked/date coded etc.

So I've had this Petsamo march ring for many years. It's plated very nice and the wear not too bad,,,,but no enamel!!

well, a little patience and praying and I was very fortunate enough to get this ring at a great price...

The band a bit more worn than my first one , but!,, nice full enamel!

It can be hard to find this ring in full enamel. As you can see with the empty one its not such a deep field for the enamel and that curved cartouche usually gets you this pattern with damaged enamel..

, some of my other Finn rings this Petsamo will now join... I have a couple others but these my favorite Finns!

These Finns I keep in a separate case with some 'other countries that were 'friendlies', collaborates etc. Ukrainian here, Estonian, Latvian, a Bulgarian youth, Albanian, CZ, Greek,,,,and some Germans the were causing a overflow...

Very nice, Gaspare. Thanks for posting. I have an interesting Latvian ring with an adjustable band and a rare Ustasha ring from Croatia. Nasty bunch, those Ustasha guys. They even shocked the SS!

Nice collection G,

I like those Thor hammer rings!

Great catch, G.

All things come to he who waits, is apparently a truth.

I have two Finnish rings, will post later.

Johnz

here they are

Thanks guys...

Mikee,, I've never been able to find a advert for those rings. I've had a few tell me they were a tradition badge for a RAD unit [info escapes me at the time]. And,,was later shown 2 photos of small badges on a m-43 so maybe its correct its a ring for the unit...

Spitfire,,we have a Latvian ring topic somewhere you can add to,,, or,,,,you can always make a new post and your Ustasha ring!

Very nice John! That square pattern is very hard to find in any condition!

That's a neat collection you got! I love the ring with the reindeer. I have a Swedish ring from "The Norrbotten Regiment" year 1943 ( panzer battalion ) in Northen Sweden near the Finnish border.

Neat ring, Mahler.

Great ring Mahler! ,,, are there any type of hallmarks/content etc on inner band??

Thank you!

From the left to right:
Makers mark -||- place mark / region mark where it was made -||- mark for Swedish silver ( nothing below .830 ) -||- Year stamp, what year it was made in

KIRSCH and SPORRONG are famous makers mark for Swedish military stuff. Those makers are officials within the military.

Very very nice !,,,yes R8 = 1943,,, all proper and nice clear hallmarks... to me thats a rare ring that I bet not to many were made nor not to many survived! Congrats
