guys,
its been several years since i have sold these copies.i used to sell on a limited basis and on ebay once in a while until i got banned for 90 days. so,i have been reading posts and keeping an eye on the quality that is available for collectors to wear or display. i dont see much of anything that is worth more than 20.00 so i am going to start making some again.i do not have any idea how many yet. keep in mind that each and every ring is hand finished one at a time.i have removed the inscription completely from the inside of the ring help prevent any fraud attempts. as soon as i am ready i will pay to advertise them here on in the for sale area.i am starting the process this week.so hopefully the first ones will be ready within 2-3 weeks if all goes well with the casting.sizes will range from 9-11 1/2 here are som pics of one that is about 80% finished.the price is still being calculated,ballpark should be somewhere around 100.00 i will keep you all posted and get them advertised. all comments are welcome,positive or negative!
thanks
mark

thanks "g",
the 80% ring needs to be gone over with a graving tool,its kinda like an offset chisel.the teeth need done & everything smoothed,polished,burnished and re-polished.
as soon as i complete the 80% ring i will post pics.
thanks

Are there any news abouth the rings ?

I do have one problem with fake Honor rings, the mayority are made by casting from original Honor rings but during time, they are casted from already casted fake rings, so they lose sharp details, weight and also apirs much thiner than original Honor rings !

Yust compare original Honor ring with nice copy, for example the one for sale at germania, the deatils are sharp enough even ingraving looks god but the ring is much smaller ( i dont mean the wearer size ), thiner and it waights only 2 or 3 grams!

If i diside to buy a fake Honor ring i woud like it to be very close to original and until now that is only Chrisis fake Honor ring ( i got one some time ago ) but the problem with his ring is the scull which is missing some details to apir the same as on originals and naturaly the ingraving, if Chris dise to repare the scull and add the ingraving than his rings woud be real top noch !!!
