hi members
this u.s. 11th airborne ring n patch appears to be done with either a collar d.i. or a sweet heart pin first one i have seen with the nut holding the 11th disk to the mounting i have had a few over the years but they were soldered to the ring in my personal opinion i think its a german blank ring that it was done to easy fix just drill a hole and mount the disk to the ring some soldiers did this perhaps something simular to trench art now the mystery question please is there any markings on the inside telling us of the metal content maybe this will tell us of where the ring came from last it is a nice part of ww 2 u.s. history thanks for showing i like it very much god bless all andy militarynut
