2nd ring

and last

both of these are listed on ebay and the first one is going up in price, but i dont like the ss stamp or the ruff edges. the second one looks kool and is still cheap but i know nothing about these and wouldnt mind getting a good one someday

If you mean "ok" as in produced in Germany 1945 or before, I'd say 99.999% chance no, not Ok.

so post war fantasy stuff then. thanks , i would like a nice war period ring one day

So would I - Trouble with ebay is you have to sort through a pile of crap to find 1 gem.
They are literally flooded with fake/fantasy rings, as you no doubt have noticed - Most coming from east Europe, a giant red flag, in and of itself.

Although the 2nd one comes from a USA seller, swearing that it comes from a vets estate, it looks more like it came from a cheap flea market.

yeh both from the same u.s. seller and same estate

more and more fakes and replicas are coming from vet's estates,,,

Interesting,,but both fantasy... Cool for wearers though..

The guy wasn't a vet,he was a old time collector
that died! He did flea markets! Had lots of good stuff! But also cheap crap he picked up over the yrs! He had hundreds of rings many very good and some like these shown junk!

But he bought anything with a skull! I mean anything! For his own pleasure!

The seller on ebay got the things I passed on wks later! He just misunderstood on vet part!

He bought lots of the questionable stuff others passed on! Many hundreds of items that were good!

He just didn't get them!

The first is here in germany often seen. It is mostly selled as "anti partisan ring"

True, most anything with a snake is anti partisan - And usually dug at Stalingrad, of course.
There have probably been more Stalingrad dug rings offered on ebay than actual men that fought there.

It has been said at many places on internet - just do some research before cloning new topics - first ring was created in Riga in early 90ies by friend of mine as cool wearing ring. Name Anti-Partisan ring was given by some american dealers. Thing you see on pics seems like 25th copy of that ring.
second ring is just a bikers ring in poor casting, probably also 25th copy from copy.

p2ss poor, fantasy,sorry

I bought mine for 29 bucks on ebay preban . Never were perported to be real. Cut into my big finger and gave it to a friend , who now laughingly tells his brother at easter " it was dug out of a potato field in poland haha". Hey there is an ass for every seat.
