I will submit my two westwall rings for review. The first has what appears to be a 900 hallmark. The second one no mark. Both were purchased in the early 80's. All opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, I don`t know both in exact this pattern, so it is real hard to have a founded opinion. All in all i have in both no good feeling altough the pics aren`t so good. On the first ring it look on this pics like it has some pittings, that would be a not so good sign.

I am still honing my photographic skills or my lack of. Hopefully these pics are clearer and I am able to get a definitive answer on the rings. Thanks.

dr,, the Big Head doesn't look so good. The leaf above the West/Wall have good detail to them. They made good copies of them years ago this looks like one. IF, I can I'll post details of a known good one,,and again, somewhere here is a topic featureing one with photos..
The 2nd ring I was never a big fan of. Just not for me. Maybe another member can shed some light on it..

I looked at my Bighead ring with my jewelers glass and you're right G. The leaves lack detail. Can't win them all. Thanks for all the insight.
