Is it me or do I recognise this ring from our beloved auction site?

I chose to leave this one because of the starting price and heavy wear, this ring from what I know is a pre and post war design often mend rings mistaken for period pieces, the band was quite thick on this one and the '8' looked very close to a 'B', the wear made it difficult to identify easily.

For me it's a bad apple, but I hope somebody here will confirm it could be genuine.

I believe that the origin of piece is irrelevant, but np.I have seen this type of ring in photographs and advertising of the period.

yes, the ring looks like the pattern offered during the war.

This has been on auction for a few months with no takers.

I agree with svengas reasons plus the shallow details just don't cut it for me as a WW2 vintage.. It's old and certainly not a current made ring.
For me this is a early postwar 'Mens ring'..
