Collectors

First off I couldn't care less about SS Honor rings! No dog in this argument!

I thought a interesting discussion was getting personal on opinions and knowledge or pedigree of knowledge!

Very un professional!


Now !

Ed Sunday a member here in the past was a very able jeweler and watch person!

He could work magic on things! His work area contained little pill bottle type containers for tiny stones,all types of goodies!

He could dip into his items for anything ! Could he add stones to a sword,ring watch etc! Sure could! And you would not know it!

Period items going way back!


That said I don't know when stones were added to this ring! Not my field! Only a well qualified jeweler would know!



Next

Just for discussion!

John Pepera lived very close to me! He was a noted SS,collector,Party badges,SS daggers,Prototype SS dagger, and in many big time books!

He was well known in the collector world!

He shared many of his items and things with me!


I am going to share this reall SS tux badge he owned! He allowed me to take pics of it front and back! Didn't want the back showed for the fakers and most never
have seen the back of a real one!

Now I have better pics someplace!

But here is a close up of it! You can see the red felt eyes! The picture of the back shows the felt!

Now back in the day this badge was worth 5,000 US dollars! Not sure of value now or who owns it!

I can assure you John did not add the felt! This is the real deal!

But John was very much the man in many fields!

Can't ask John his thoughts of why or when!

He passed yrs ago and we lost a giant!

So just take a step back folks!

Many things are a mystery!
