Hello Stud, I am very sorry for my hard words concerning the ring but they are honest and true. I know that you did not do the "cleaning" but you see what problems do arise with it (I personally have the opinion, for what it is worth, it is one and the same -original- ring). Original TKRings can only be judged by minute details so what to do when all these details are gone??? Gaspare could very expertly express the bad details of such "cleaning": taking off material and "moving" material. So the ring is not what it once has been and will not be again. I think this is also the reason for that the ring has changed it´s owner since 2006 several times. Nice and desirable rings very seldom do change owners wink. I could trace it as I have it in my files, first erroneously as "Furk" (2006) without any connection to Jurk, now after it is clear "Jurk" I could combine the traces and it became clear.
It is a pity but it is what it is.
Regards,

wotan, gd.c-b#105
