Skull Ring with Radio Headset

[Kingpin Chic]

Hi All!
Purchased this ring from an estate with no history. Was not presented as anything special. This ring struck me as having some German military connection, but I am posting here as I am no expert

I do not believe this is WW II related.

The type of the skull does not seem something the Germans would have used...

Thanks, Steve! What about it makes you think that?

[KRISSE]

Maybe from some SS DJ?

Thanks! I thought that too; the skull looks almost like folk art. Do you know if skull rings were popular before World War Two?

The ring tests positive for silver and I was thinkingof getting an xray for the exact composition of the metals. The only mark I can find is what looks like a S and A joined and I har not found a marker mark of this kind.

Looks like a bikers ring from the 70s!....

That's what I thought at first and when I showed to an MC collector I know he said it was too delicate to be biker ring from that era and the headset was too thin, like a radio operator's not a dj or music headphones.

The head phones, as already mentioned, are nothing like any used during the war by the Germans.
A x ray will not tell what kind of metal the ring is made of and I believe it would be a waist of money. It is definitely a post war ring.
