Here is a ring I recently acquired from another member who is either down sizing or specializing, or getting out..
Those seem to be the big 3 things today for collectors..
Concentrate on a certain area,, downsizing to what you really like and can comfortable afford, or getting out , selling everything you have/had but maybe still in to the history.
I have a few 100 rings so IF I manage to find a ring or 3 a year, or inwear photo or some kind of related literature, or period period tooling I'm VERY happy.
This was another members ring I've always admired. From the Italian made series. The kingdom of Fascist Albania!
I have another Albanian ring of lesser quality maybe I'll pull out and show together. But this recent acquisition is of a bit higher quality an appreciate the fair price.. Enjoy guys and happy hunting:

Nice.
Do you have any Norge 1940 rings you can show us?

Enjoy guys and happy hunting: So the Albanian was mine, and here is another I own, that is also for sale. It’s about a size 9-9.5. I’ve always found the design very attractive as well. If you are interested in being an owner of one of these rare “birds”- feel free to contact!

Great ring.. Is it a small size?? Maybe they were his and hers! Guys like to collect 'nazi rings,,SS, Skull etc... Sure they are desirable.. Some just collect WW patterns... I like a well rounded collection.. Axis main concentration but I also love the occupied countries, the 'friendly's', collaborating countries etc. I have some Allied but patterns from family they brought home they were in or I collected their unit postwar [but wartime examples].... And yeah,,the Allied rings, especially with enamel have become very scarce and expensive!!
