It has long been my contention that many rings were offered but never produced.. I have had good information that they would start a 'base',, partially cut die [unfinished] and see how many orders would come in for it. Not enough to make it worthwhile, and no ring.
This one even simpler as it looks like the WW stic pin affixed to a ring blank [?] , [ there is a band design but can't be seen.]...

- * I also have a printed speech from the propaganda minister stating,,,nothing represents the WestWall officially except the WestWall medal! , and to stop buying the kitch out there as rings,pins, bracelets, fobs etc.


SO, what do we believe,,the good ole Minister?? OR this part of an official advert that seems to be offering a WW ring??. They also produce an approved WestWall medal and approved WW stic pin and WW medal miniature!


- * Knowing the Ministers speech/warning I believe this ring was never produced. SO,,lets see how long it takes the counterfeiters to make one up!! OR someone that dug one up himself a few years ago!! grin

So here is the description and item number,,,,And,,,the ring with matching number , not a photo but an drawing....................................
