Hello, guys! This is another ring, it’s look original to me from these photos, seller digged it up by itself. But want to hear opinions of other members, maybe someone see some faults in this ring? Last photo - same ring I found in internet. Sry for low res photos, that’s all I can get for now.

I‘m unsure about the authenticity, based on the photos, but it is a known pattern from WW2. The hallmark is also known. Normally, there would be a symbol on the face denoting the service the owner belonged to, e.g., Luftwaffe eagle or SS runes. Search the forum and you'll find several good, authentic examples. In the link below are some nice Norge Luftwaffe rings posted last year by John Z: https://forum.germandaggers.com/ubb...=37069&Words=norge&Search=true#Post35078A word of caution though: whenever someone says that a ring was dug out of the ground, be suspicious that it's a fake or a copy. As others here will agree, being ground-dug, even if it actually was "found" in the ground, is no any kind of provenance. And if a seller claims that he dug the ring himself, I don't believe it unless it was dug up a few decades ago and there is proof of this.

SpitfireVb, thank you for u answer.
I found this ring by accident, the seller did not put it up for sale. Offered to buy - the seller agreed. But u r right.
U unsure about authenticity because the low res photos? Or u see any faults at this ring? I asked for extra photos.
Also, this ring commonly come with initials too, found some examples in internet.

a quick look,,,,,maybe the hallmark isn't good[?] Search here and internet and make sure. Compare first! But in general the photos are not good enough for the guys to scrutinize in order to determine authenticity..
