You will have to wait for some opinions from some of the members that study these but, this could very well be a 333 fake.
I am not familiar with many that marked the silver content during the TR era.

Hello, they were made in Strasbourg, and people said it's fake, but I bought 3 at a very small price. In the 60's-70's, same stock that the SS buckles with paper.

If maker mark is looking like this then its a fake.

Best regards,

Can't clearly make it out Franco but it probably is the same mark doesn't make sense to fake a makers mark that didn't exist though surely

In first picture of ring that you have posted i can recognize 333, so its a fake indeed, unfortunately. Even worse is the fact that there are unmarked 333 fakes and like unmarked Flochs example they can easily fooled someone, but ek2 which are marked 49 (Flochs fake) and 333 are at least easy to detect.
Best regards,
Franko

It looks like the 333/666 fake cross to me, check this thread: Fake 1939 EK2's

One flaw on this type of cross can been seen where I put the red circle, it seems your cross has it. But not 100% sure based on these pictures.
