Gentlemen, i could get this Westwall ring. Imho the backside looks good, the seam is ok, it is a little bit worn, because it is grounddug. What i�m not sure about is the stamp.
What do you think ? Thumb up or down ?

we all might have a problem here.. I've seen hallmarks like this a couple times like this in the last year..
1st,,hallmarks are to be seen. They show the content, sometimes the maker, quailty, etc. Even when the inner band is worn the hallmarks are usually pretty clear. I like the look of this ring,inside and out,,but not those stamps..
Check out these photos of the same ring, and just about the same condition...

Yes, the ring complete looks not bad, but the stamp is very strange. Here a pic from a stamp (west-front-ring) to compare

On eBay,, a fake ring with a pretty convincing set of marks. The last mark being the Ln. Knowing what we do could the inside band look like this?, no.. They are getting better all the time,,be careful...
