I have this interesting ring that came from a collection of various Wehrmacht unit rings and I?m having some trouble identifying the insignia upon the cartouche. Looks like it could be a panzer or other heer/Wehrmacht marking? Any help with identification is greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking/any thoughts or opinions.

Mike,

Looks a bit like a backwards "4"

Hello,

difficult.

I have now completely read through the three books "Die Truppenkennzeichen 1939-1945" by Schmitz / Thies, Biblioverlag.
There are many thousands of characters depicted there.

Nothing like that. The regiment badge from Flak Regiment 18 is the most similar, but it is not ...

Too bad.

Best regards,
Dierk

Hello Ric,

I only think antiquarian.
And then relatively expensive:

https://www.amazon.de/Truppenkennzeichen-Einheiten-deutschen-Wehrmacht-Waffen-SS/dp/3764814985

Volume 4 is still missing, it didn't exist when I bought the other volumes.

A comrade of my father from Cologne wrote these books, I once had contact with him. But I suspect that he is no longer alive. He witnessed the end of the war in the Harz Mountains as a soldier and later joined the Bundeswehr.

Best regards,
Dierk

cheaper in spain:

The Biblio publishing house went out in 2016, a shame. The "Tessin" was also from there.

Thank you for the info, looks like I will just keep researching. Must be a variant- seems like there were a number of these.

Hello Dierk,

thank you for info
