I agree that a side by side comparison would certainly be very interesting to see. As well, one of the factors that led me to purchasing this package was the fact that an example was sent to Don Boyle for his review and he gave it an extremely good review. (Dons review can be seen on the website for this ring). Also, I was interested in the documentation that is provided with the ring, notably the Himmler signed presentation certificate in the folder which is aged accordingly. It just added to the attractiveness of this particular ring. In the end, each person must be satisfied with their individual purchase regardless of the producer of the item. Myself, I prefer this ring as it was cast from a mold of an original. Again to each his or her own.
