I've had these for many years.. A question,,,,
This Bulgarian ring was for their Hitler youth type organization You will see this exact emblem on their HJ knives.. So,,I'm looking for any type of period Bulgarian rings.. What do you have?? anything? If you can please post..
Also I have this jeweler made Czechoslovakia fascists' party/nazi ring. This is the period popular 'split band type' the jewelers liked to make. Multi piece construction. The pin / emblem had to be high quality enough to stand up to multiple soldering's.. SO,, does anyone have a period CZ ring they can post?? Would probably be their Lion [?] What you got?! , Thanks....,G.

Had an email about the Albanian ring I recently purchased.. He was asking what other countries had rings.. Here's 2 more,,one mass production, the other a custom piece.
Bulgarian and Czechoslovakia..
So,,what other countries that were leaning to 3rd reich, had volunteers etc. , Axis,, pro Fascist,,Collaborating.:
- We have the Italian rings [part of the Axis] - There was the DAK, Afrika rings ,,,[available to Allied and Axis] -Latvian - Estonian - -Norway - Denmark - Finland- Holland - Sweden - Ukraine - Spain, although neutral during the war they were Fascist and had Legion Condor and their own party rings...
Now most of these countries are shown somewhere here,,,But here's 3 I'm pretty sure we do not have!
- Lithuanian,, Romanian, and strangely enough,,,part of the Axis,,Japan!..
* So,,IF anyone can think of others missing,, please list [or show!] them here... Thanks.. ,G.

Just so we know the area...
:bit out of focus,,,,but here's the SS Foreign Volunteer map... I don't believe in a POA, Britain, Cossack, Eastern rings.. Also don't think we'll see a Croatian ring in collar tab or colors. ,,
but there could be a Hungarian ring! Maybe not there collar tab but their colors etc.

Thanks Vern,,,yes,,it is on here somewhere... Odal and I exchanged many a email over that pattern... Sometimes he liked it and I didn't,,sometimes I liked it and he didn't! He was like,,,'what am I going to do with this ring?' I told him,,,'put it in your collection'....
There are other examples. But no one knows anything about it, what its for [other than Luft.]...There is no adverts.. Photo in wear, line drawing etc.. Some claimed to be dug,,,but when pressed/checked it turned out they weren't..
It does have the right 'look' about it.. There were a few of us really trying to get some kind of provenance on one but never could.. Still, I'd have one in my collection if had the right opportunity..
Thanks again Vern! - So,,any other countries out there you guys can think of??
