Hm?
Interessting ring for me and a pattern i have never seen untill this one.
At least here in Germany no well known fake or fantasy.

Original rings with Hitler bust are usual made in very high quality and are all rare and early pieces.
I would say may 33 it was done with selling such rings because of the "Kitsch"-law.
In the case of this ring for me would count the manufacturing method, quality of manufacturing, material and the hallmarks, if some are there.
I would like to see more and better/closer pics of this on the first view nice looking ring.

When I got him you could not see the Hitler head it was totally black from the silver.

I think that the halmark was on the pice that was cut out you see the black spoot on the bottem of the ring last picture.
I think that the ring was cut smaller.

If complete silver made and period, it should have a content mark.

A other possibility is the ground material isn`t silver, but silver plated/covered. Try to check this out.
Was very common to make a jewelry item out of "Alpacca" or an other alloy and plate it. On worn item this
is usually visible at the edges.

Sorry forgot.
The black spot is from soldering/closing the band.

And yes, the new pics are much better, but for me still not good enaugh for building a sure opinion. This is always hard to do only with pics.
As they look to me both could be possible casting or die strucking this item, i am real not sure.

I would say: A ring i don`t dislike and very interesting. I would like to have in hands to take a closer look. But otherwise in this moment and with only this pics i didn`t would pay much money for it
