Very nice ring Glenn. I see SS runes scratched here.
Very nice ring Glenn. I see SS runes scratched here.
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
Yup, me too! The unanswerable question is whether they were period or post war added.
I'd say, probably, post war. The wear to the right, just above, and to the left of the runes doesn't match the runes wear, IMO.
The wear is consistent throughout the ring, except for the runes, which look a lot newer. Also, why wouldn't the runes that have been scratched on have the same discoloration of the other scratches which were due to wear, especially since its ground dug.
It's somewhat more noticeable once the photo is enhanced.
Regardless when the runes were put there, it is still a great ring, and one any collector would like in their collection, congratulations.
Looking forward to seeing it Glenn !

Thanks Nick, it will come with it's dried out, rotten little leather pouch that it was found in which should look nifty in my display.
Beautiful ! You have style Glenn !
