The counterfeiters of rings having been thwarted many times on the commercially produced by jeweler rings and have seemingly decided to move on..They have for the last couple of years moved onto these type of campaign rings and unit emblem rings..They figure it is very hard to detect these fakes from originals and have stepped up production.. Well, they are right, and we're seeing more and more of them. These type of rings unless they come with a very good provenance should be avoided. Of course if you see one that you just must have and the price is right buy it, enjoy it..You ultimately must be the one to like it well enough to include it in your collection of originals..,G.
