It's the unofficial honor ring of the little-known 4711th SS Volunteer Elk Cavalry Regiment "Hägar the Horrible".

Ah yes, named after a true Viking hero who, if I recall correctly was a true curry aficionado and his favourite was Arctic Moose Vindaloo!

Sorry for laughing mate but that ring is just preposterous.

If you are prepared to spend that much money please please do some research first.

Hopefully you stopped before buying this outrageous item and the replies above have saved you several years worth of membership fees here!

Welcome to the forum, it has already proved its' worth I think?

One thing i learnt back in primary school was viking helmets dont have horns . Ik they were added later for disply in theatres but even the germans in ww2 knew this

Ah, the real diehards had horns on the inside!!!

They found a wowen burial scene on a large piece of cloth buried during iron age/viking age. There we indeed see that the person leading the funeral has helmet with horns, i was very surprised when i saw that.

Even from those small photo, I can see it as Fake ring, sold in Biker and Gun Magazines in the 80.

Spot on. 700 bucks is a lot of money for a real TR ring. For a fake like this one, it's daylight robbery.
Cheers!
