If anyone remembers, I got a less than acceptable HR repro a couple months ago. Here's one from a different source. I can't say exactly how good it looks, but compared to the last one...whew! Much better!

What are the opinions???

As already said, my preferred repro to daily wear. Customised engraving alone is worth the price requested IMO.

Yes, I agree also that it was definitely worth the price. Personal engraving which look really good, it costs $30+ by itself when you buy any ring at a store.

The first repro I bought (from a different source) was horrible and $165, denial, then angry at me bc i posted the photos here on BCN, then after i asked twice to send it back, they told me i could "just keep the two photos that were sent for free" that they said were worth $15 each (which i could print off myself for 50 cents each right now). Sure it may not be 100% perfect, but no repro is 100% perfect IMO.

So, I remember reading that some people make the skull smaller after getting a repro ring.

How?

Sandpaper? Grinding tool?

Before messing with Hapur's ring, do not forget he sells the same repro with a smaller skull

It would be ok if that skull was smaller! Really not in proportion to the band. Definately needs some adjustments.Ron

Hi to all,
I'm thinking in buying one of this repro rings, they look's great, seeing your's,could you please tell which size is yours.
The question is because for the photos looks like a "small" size, and my problem is that all rings I find are too big.

The ring pictured on the wooden table and wooden deck outside is a 9 1/2 size ring. You can order any size I think. Ask for the small sized skull.

Hi, you can get any size you need. Normally I make them from 9 to 14. Smallest ever I have made on request was size 6 and largest was 15.
