An old German slogan: “ MANY ENEMIES, MUCH HONOUR”.
It is small and thin ring , 17mm- ca. 2gr- 800 stamped.


Please see WW1 postcard with the slogan.
Depicted Kaiser Wilhelm II and his son crown prince Wilhelm.

Hey benten,

Nice find! I have seen similar maker marks but not this exact one unless maybe he is holding a shield but I don't see it. Do you know the maker?

Cool ring, Benten. It's strange that the silver mark is right on the seam breakage. I wonder if it has been resized.

yeah thats an oldie!... Very nice ring.... A break can happen anywhere. Sometimes right next to the soldered join seam,,sometimes in a plain area where there is an internal fault we cant see. It's no problem..

- Nice catch B.!!

Mikee, Stephen, Gaspare,

Thank you all for the complement.

I didn't know that “the running man” is a stamp. I was wondering what it could be too .

A ring with this heroic slogan “Many enemies,much honour”, I would say “ something for a man”, but the size is very small !? Bending outward does break the enamel a bit. Reseized?: anyhow, there is also cut out a piece of the band behind between the stamp and more left of the band.

Thank you for your reply.
Benten
