I wouldn't smash it. If anything mark the inside with a tool....like "Repro"...so no one else will suffer the same fake...but then again, I know a number of members here that destroy fake items. So up to you. I will say...it won't make a dent in the number of fakes out there.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

I would only smash the ring to "delete it" from my life.
I just don't want it in my house anymore.
Thanks again.

You would not believe the elaborate story they spun to get me to believe that it was an original WW2 ring.
I thought they would not bother if it was untrue, because it would take too much effort, but I was obviously wrong.
Well, as many folks on the forum would tell you, 'buy the ring, not the story'. It has happened to us all. Can you get a refund?[/QUOTE]
No refund possible, but thanks for suggesting it.

I have to agree - it is casted ring and not an period item. The design is similar to the WWI or pre WWI period so even if it was an original, it is not from the III Reich era. But I disagree that there were no silver markings outside the ring band - I is rare but such marked rings existed.

Agreed. I have seen a few genuine TR rings with the silver mark on the outside. I have a nice Condor Legion example of this. But the subject of this thread is a dud no matter where the mark is placed.
