He also owned molds taken from/made from authentic H. Goring s rings. 2 that were known. He was credited with all sorts of fantasy pieces too. Dagger parts ,medals, jewelry etc. Along with selling N.O.S. dagger parts , having flags made from the original makers etc.
Whats true and whats BS,,,,don't think anyone is around that could tell us anymore....

. But getting back to the HR.. Well there also isn't anyone left alive that could enlighten us, nor did any tooling survive. I have heard for years that a piece of the bands tooling survived and was badly damaged but as much about it ,,it was never produced . So maybe that is a myth too..

We 've been having some good rational discussion about the HR here. Some solid facts - the silver content,,,- the amount produced,,,etc. Maybe you guys could post the inner bands of yours [even if they are on their own topic] and WE can address the inner band multi piece theory.. Much thanks so far guys.!! smile
