DAK Ring
Well worn Deutshe Afrika Korp ring - got this while recently in Germany from a relative of my wife whos uncle served in the Africa Korps. The silver ring reflects DAK and a palm tree on gold also emblems on the side but are worn and on the rear inside of the ring its engraved "Weihnachten 1942 also Sterling 14K and a makers mark. The owner was captured and spent his time till the war ended in a POW camp in Canada.
Nice to know the history and the owners name -

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: DAK Ring
Incredible Horst! The engraving on the inside is fantastic. You need to skip over to Germany more often.

Re: DAK Ring
Thought I would add the pictures of the owner of the DAK ring, man was born 1910 and died in 1995 - he was captured and a POW in Canada.

Re: DAK Ring
The ring was made in the POW captivity - Sterling is not German. therefore, no swastika. I like it.
