I've found some rings from a local antique seller, what do you think? Real or fake?
Here is #1

Oh dear! Run like the wind! Numbers 2 and 3 are both rubbish. The SS runes engraved as a so-called mark on any ring is a dead giveaway. These two are known postwar fantasy pieces. The skull, I am unsure about. It is a known pattern but interested in what others think. Stephen

They are all bad. I have seen that fake skull out on eBay for a while. Stay away from all 3.

Thank you both!
Are they bad even as fakes?!

Are they bad even as fakes?! The two SS rings are worse than fakes: they are compete fantasies. Neither pattern, to my knowledge, existed during WW2. Stephen

I am not sure I understand the question I am afraid... I would say a fake is a fake regardless. The first one is based on a skull pattern- but the other two are just fantasy pieces...
