The mark; it's difficult to see what it means...any idea? I hope that many of your rings may follow

Excellent Benten. Thats one of the nicer ,high quality ones, 2 piece, silver, enamel..
Please members. If you have posted your WW1 / sweetheart rings before please post again as some of the old topics will disappear [or have already] into never never land until the site owner can figure something out to save them. So even if posted recently please post again..
Thanks.
I really don't specialize in these but I've ended up with a few..This one came in a grouping. Weird, its straight zinc! It might have had a clear coat on it long time ago,,gone now..

This one was a straight strip of zinc. Put thru a machine with a die,then rolls, and imprints the design, and out comes the ring.

Gaspare, it's the first zinc WW1 ring I see. Bellissima ! I presume it is a ring from the national metal exchange.
I have posted here a very simple iron ring.
Later on, I 'll post the other WW1 rings .

That shop display is fantastic!
Custom broachs, pins, rings,,really really nice!
Benten, Wish I could tell you this last ring you post was period but it is not.. Here's mine [the exact ring]. I bought it sometime in the early 1970s.
They were available for a short while here in the states. Sometimes in mens magazines, 'Popular Science', or the motorcycle mags. And,sometimes seen in the 70s 'Head Shops' along with a large variety of skull rings, they were called 'Surfer cross rings'..
Seems they were not available for long and they are pretty scarce, probably a collectable in their own right..

Nice rings gentlemen. Gaspare thanks for your opinion; I wished I had the shop display and NOT the (surfer cross) ring .

Eamonn, that are both interesting rings.
From the Belgium ring I like the way they sew it out.
The German ring...it's a beauty and the text on it, which makes a time document of the ring.

some parts have gold inlay ( like "1914" and the side decoration), others have the gold on it ( side text and lion). How did they do that?
The text is "Belge Toujours" ; "Belgium (or Belgic?) Always".
