Please post other photos that show the whole ring.
With an RZM stamp on it, I would say it is unlikely that it is original.

Initial impression=not good. Is a rule of thumb that Most rings should be marked inside the shank. To stamp them After they have been soldered into a ring would damage them-that is why they are generally stamped while flat and unformed, and unsized- pre-soldering. Is just the way you make rings.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Just the RZM stamp alone would be enough
to put me off.........

Yes, the RZM-mark says it all.

Just for clarity: It's note even about the location or the look of the RZM marking. It's mere presence is enough, as there was no so such thing as an RZM-marked ring of any kind.
