Hello,

I'm sure someone posted this pattern ring in the past, may be Odal ?

Anyway here's an interesting ring for discussion.

Thank you in advance for any contribution

Ric

Ric,

Yes, Scandinavia ... but whose eagle is that ? It does not have the usual Luftwaffe wings or overall shape. With no swastika, could it be something other than Nazi ?

any other views ?

Nice ring, Ric. I agree with Dave. It doesn‘t look like a Nazi pattern but the band looks similar to many Art Deco German ring designs from the 30s and 40s. Curious.

Sorry.......Evgeniy, that's only pic available....so far.

Ric

An interesting ring for study , Ric. The structure of the ring seems a bit grainy in all places: The granularity belongs to the Art Déco style? .... or is the ring molded ....?

Looking at this pic, I tend to believe it's by zink silvered......that could explain granularity in some places.

As already noticed by Stephen, the whole design suggest an Art Deco german made ring.

Ric

Yes , Stephen mentioned already the Art Déco style of the ring, but I meant that the bubbels strucure could be an used element of the Art Déco.

Zink silvered is a good option.

yes it copies the 'Wilm' style [ art deco]...

But as Dave spotted the obvious,,and its a big thing!,,,,no swastika! There are also a few rough spots, faults here and there.... Don't know exactly what this is but interesting..

Would be great to see inside the band a joining seam, hallmark , etc.

I don't think Odal had this exact ring. He had 60 , 70 rings and believe it or not I knew most but can't remember anymore.. You can try searches here but I don't remember this here.

And, the eagle does not resemble others I've seen in various places. Only 4 main wing feathers, monster talons and leg feathers that stick out.

Ric, where is this ring now ?

Dave

Dave,

it's on my way.......so I will be able to add more pics

Ric

Great

here is a slight reminder of it for me... This is one of the campaign / occupier rings... Multi piece,, probably like 8 pieces,,,has Holland on back of band if I remember correctly..

But here we see everything we like to see.!!. The main thing,,a Swastika!! , , Oak leafs and acorns,,the detail is there, quality good.. - But a far cry from first ring..

Ric guess your getting it for inspection / possible purchase.. In hand is best! Good photos make a hell of a difference too! The inner band,, bird eyes view,, etc. etc. etc,,,,going to be very interesting!!

I can't figure how to get photos off this link to print here,,,,BUT,, if anyone can,,, maybe post the rear of band, an inner band shot and a side shot..
Appreciate it if someone knows how:

Ric
