Thanks for showing us your collection! Out of curiosity, why are the 'swirl' pattern rings associated with the Westwall? Did that motif have some significance?

That is very interesting! Thank you. Until recently, I would not have recognized this unique design for what it is.

Hi Brian!
Your not so small ringcollection is growing!
Congrats!

For the interested guys here my little contribution.
A original Grau-ring. Made and sold by this enventor of the Westwall-rings. These rings are hard to find, marked/stamped and had a paperpatch.
Here some pics. A scan of a period advert and of a period newspaper article.
Enjoy!
