Well, at least these are no where close to what we would call a SuperFake!

These have been out and circulating around currently in the auctions etc.

A few topics down this page and we have a 'Grimacing Skull' ring. It has its own set of problems and it artificially aged.

This current example is of course being touted as a authentic ring in many of the auctions etc. It tries but thankfully falls way short of being a good one. A poorly made reproduction. Should have no chance deceiving anyone and a good example of the pattern is seen in the private purchase skull ring topic pinned at the top..

this next one,,well not even close... I'd call it more of a fantasy ring. Very close to the original pattern but falls way short in design and overall detail.

The authentic pattern of this ring is in the WestWall rings topic pinned at the top here.

This is trying to be the early wide band skull ring.. Band way too thick, skull one piece cast with band, too much artificial aging,etc/etc... Maybe a good wearer but thats it..

- This type also is on the private purchase skull ring pinned at top....

OK, be careful guys.. You see a current fake that might be bothersome to a collector please feel free to add here... Thanks.,G.

more a fantasy than a copy.. Emailed to me to check out... A Viking ship.. Touted as a WW2 ring for whatever the reason..

Low quality. You should be able to see cast dot, fault line , etc... The poor set of hallmarks... Don't know what this is but its not something for a WW2 collection.

another current offering.. Don't look at these in silver. To date there are adverts for this ring. But none offer it in silver nor have any turned up that could be considered authentic with any type of provenance..

This one ,,just poor everything.... Shallow details,,mushy, waxy looking overall,,,[lost the inner photo but typical poor finish to inner band],.. The side design they didn't even try to look correct thankfully...
