Yes they were associated w the 9th ss Hohenstaufen symbol of die springender teufel. This came out of Bulgaria, w some period Soviet and Bulgarian items. Likely from operation spring awakening failure of ss division in Hungary. It's had a rough life, kind of smashed on one side. I don't clean my rings so it's pretty mucky, but I like it. (Not much of a wearer!) I shared w G before I bought it, and quite frankly I'm surprised it even made it here- but here we are! The snakes and skull was IMHO the nicest piece of it's kind at the max- they don't get better than that. (And they can't get much more expensive!) it's one of my finest skulls without question. Also, clearly not a wearer. (Stays in the box)!
I believe this ring is far away from hohenstaufen symbol of springender teufel. I believe this is old ring but doesn't related to ww2.
