O.k. , things are slow so lets move on to another good well known parttern ring that there are now excellent fakes of..

The 'Edelweissring'.. A 'semi' official ring!
Originals can sometimes have excellent provenance.
There were actually award documents made for the ring.
There has been one case where the ring was listed on the awards page of a Soldbuch.
I've seen them listed on death cards also!

Well made, rings. Originals have all so far been a heavy solid silver. Notice the number 1 at the bottom of the flower. These rings were exclusive for members of the 1st Gebirgs Division.

Here's a well worn original example:
