Again two nice rings.
Both not my area in collceting but i like them both.
The second one is a rather common wwI pattern.
Here in Germany we call this rings for the 4 nations
"Achsen"-ring. So called you see sometimes period adverts.

When I browse internet all the time find more and more rings. I'm trying to focus on German pieces but sometimes cant resist to buy rings I find interesting. This time kind of patriotic Polish ring. Really heavy one guess pre 1945 because of the eagles crown. Maybe I'm wrong. The eagle is riveted. Can not see the markings because it is half away. Any thoughts ?

[nice pattern Norge ring!]

The Soviet emblem isn't correct according to my wife. She should know [former Komsomol leader]... It is slightlt different,,but does it make it a 'fantasy ring'[?]

Could it be another communist nation state or organization emblem? Or maybe they made it in the press the right way, but.... Well, it would leave the right mark on someone if it was used in a fight, that's for sure!

hey that's great! You got another one..

This example has the eagle wearing the crown. So its pre war and wartime ,until the commies took over.. Poland had a lot of hallmarks. I'm surprised there are none in the band. Maybe polished out?

Today the ring with initials GR. It belonged to Luftwaffe officer and was found in Schweinemunde (Swinoujscie - POLAND) with pilots badge and portrait (of the owner I guess). Unfortunetly grouping was sold separately. Anyway beliveing or not this story I find this ring really nice and worth of showing here. It is a silver piece with gold plate.

I like how these rings are supposed to be "all bones" what with the band being fashioned into bones themselves. Whats neat too is so many rings don't have much going on after the sides and front, the back of the rings are just bands really...they kind of go downhill dramatically in terms of both art and quality on the back end...these ones are supposed to represent a holistic concept, and there's art being used even where the ring is not visible to the viewer...but it's known by the wearer...I really dig that artistic sense of completing the circle, if you will...

G. , not really liking that skull w bone band ring. Content looks cast in, hi heat, not a good cast,,pretty sure that's a postwar piece..

Your Polish Navy ring is cool! I'm surprised we haven't seen a Polish hallmark yet? You Navy ring hallmark might be able to be IDed,,maybe a better photo will help..

Dear Gaspare, I'm pretty sure You will be able to say more when I will post more detailed pictures of the skull ring. If I got burned this will hurt not much because paid not too big money :-). This one came from a good source but sometime s***t happens.

As for Polish ring the markings these are typical proof markings for silver. It is a lady head with number 925 and letter B for city Bydgoszcz where the ring was proofed. The secound marking this are initial of the manufacturer WS I guess.

Will drop additional pictures when time permits.

Each day new stuff. I would never know so many rings around.

#1 - trench made German ring dated 1942 and place JALTA. I do not know what is in front of the ring but it looks like high shore with building and sailboat.

#2 - USMC ring nice marked and extra letters inside "ACe" - what does it means ?

#3 - Polish ternch job - I can not point it in time but eagle crown indicates it as a pre war piece.
