    Default Imperial/Freikorps-Era Totenkopf Ring

    Good Morning, Friends...
    I'd like to share this Ring with you...No Markings Visible, and there's a repair to the left of the bone in the 11 o'clock area along with a piece missing at the top of the skull...
    Although I've never been a Ring-Collector (not even a Ring-Wearer), I'd like a Representative Example for my Imperial/Freikorps Display and thought that this example would fit in well...
    Your Thoughts & Opinions are Appreciated... Hopefully our friend Odal will add his expertise...
    cheers, Glenn

    Hi Glenn,
    I wish I could help but I have absolutely no experience with these.
    I would not be able to tell a good ring from biker jewelry.

    good luck.

    Need clearer sharp photos, but I'm seeing signs of it being cast from what I can see. What is the bite from the top of the skull from, I wonder? Did some fool do a test cut to see if it was genuine silver? But, in any case, for 35 bucks, you can't go too far wrong! If it Was cast, it would make a cool wearing ring! Nice detail on the teeth!

    This pattern was sold in WWII time too.

    The ring.
    Hate to have to say it, but it is a fake.
    Here for comparing some quick shots of a period one:
