On the other hand -matthew-, you are on the wrong trace concerning the engraving. Here Mr. Scapini really did hit the nail and his observations are 100% correct. These rings, due to my investigations and personal experiences, have been engraved in the post assembling state. EACH elder, german hand ring engraver I did ask (and there were several, whenever I could find one personally) told me answering my question when a ring was/is engraved "NATURALLY in fixed (round) state". Even today engraving with engraving machines are done in fixed (round) state.

there is big difference in engraving one or two rings for wedding, or present, engraving already finished ring from store's shelf and making thousands of rings from scratch, knowing that at the end there will be engraving. Engraving flat is simply easier and less time consuming.


There are less original rings than you think, much less...
