I know I will be booted out of this discussion after this, but, seems there is little knowledge of the way these rings were made and engraved.
And this is probably due to the fact that they were made some 85 years ago. Things were very different then, we know that. But for me, it is difficult to know how it really was then.
There was a WAR going on. I can just see a jeweler engraving a ring for the SS with all that was going on then, bombs going off, anti aircraft guns, etc,. knowing that if he screwed up, it would not be good for him.
Seems to me this could go on till the end of time with no solution.
Example, can we prove beyond a doubt the rings were made in Germany?? They did occupy several countries then.
Sorry for butting in, this post on HR's has been a great read for me, and very informative, thank you all.
