Andy
Couldn't have come to a better guy!
So many yrs honing the skills and gathering knowledge
to help collectors understand.
These do not grow on trees, and most folks only get 1 or 2 chances at legit stuff like these rings, in ones entire collecting time!
I only had 1 chance at seeing 4 or 5 rings from guy at steel mill!
His father brought them back from war!
Too be honest I thought they were in field made as I had never seen before!
I never got them but remember them!
Tell us your thoughts on them! Made in field or bought!
Collectors should look at real stuff and not jibberish stuff shown over and over with secret markings and found in a dounut shop in Prague or Poland!
Just think Andy
You might find more in 40 yrs!
Best to you buddy!

hi guys
thanks for your kind words on the above ring collection of mine i think i mentioned this before we are all addicted to this great hobby and just love to spend our hard earned money on third reich items especially real period made rings . the german quality that went in to all thier military items can never be matched oh yes they make copies in quanity as we well know but the copies just dont win the cigar . pvon please i love your saying 40 more years collecting militara sorry to say i would be 116 yrs old then . perhaps i could catch U-505 mitt hans goebler und i could meet der fuhrer in south america und have a beer mitt him he is still alive or am i still in gaga land ok guys hope to see most of you guys at the max show soon thank you for looking at my ring collection god bless all andy militarynut
