an old friend [since passed away] had actually bought the dies..
At first the rings were going to be 2 pieces. Both with the same band. The cartouche could have been replaced with either a Panzer type skull or,,SS runes..
The first generation rings had the cartouche in brass and had real black glass fired enamel ! So either design could have been pressed in to the band.. This did prove to be too costly after a few runs. So after a while they became one piece..
He was a bit of a neo nazi. He had solid gold SS rings made from the dies. Occasionally you will see them com up on the market.
Here are the original dies from the 50s/60s!!
