Man I want an early ring so much but I just can't get into the Ruppert ring. Take it solely as opinion, I can't defend it very well- but I don't like the beveled edge or the weird line under the name it's just too odd for me. Don't know what to make at all of the einspenner ring need others to comment on that piece. I still don't like the edge, but again could just be me. The fakes today are getting really very good, it's up to the real experts to know for sure.
