Agree, there is plenty of examples of them using gold. Here is my post war gold HR. Some soldier must have wanted it made this way.
I hardly doubt (to be honest I don't believe at all), for many reasons, a SS Honor Ring was ever made in Gold, nor "Gold plated". IMO all this is only another (of the many in this field) invented story.
Antonio, very interesting! I did not know that. Thanks for your knowledge.
Here Mike you can clearly see what I mean (see attached picture).
