seems the guys on WAF don't like this ring!
When I look into the edged weapon section of WAF I dare to doubt that there are always too much experts around... and the same for TK-rings (beside when you, Gaspare, do attend
).
Concerning the certain ring, these earliest rings have some anomalies and I am sure we do not know all about them, so a written "Seinem l" instead of "S/l" would not wonder me too much.
The pity is, that in my opinion it is nearly impossible to classify such a heavy worn ring for sure. Outside there are nearly no criteria, inside just the engraving. A skilled, old engraver could do this even nowadays (Btw these rings were always engraved in closed, ready state, NOT in the open "band" state).
This all said, from the proportions and the general look this ring could easily be an original.
Regards,
