I think at times we can forget these things were made by people and mistakes were made.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,
That is a cracking ring. Nice to see it, rather than all of the junk we've been seeing in this forum recently.
Does it belong to you now? (The Ehrenring, not the junk)
Cheers,
Stephen
Not mine sadly.
It will be sold on Nov 22nd at Hansons Auctioneers where I work.
Cheers, Ade.

Wow! That seems like a real bargain to me. I was under the impression that Ehrenringe went for a lot more than that. I was offered an Ehrenring with full providence a few years ago. The asking price was £8000. That’s a lot of beer!by Adrian Stevenson

Opps! Sorry I mis typed the price!
It was £3,850.......

As a collector of over 40 years and an owner of a 1938 Ehrenring for anyone to seriously imagine that Gahr and the SS would have allowed such a high award to be presented with the skull affixed incorrectly is either seriously deluded or doesn't know or understand how this could and would have never have happened. Even HJ knives with the most minor defects were deemed unacceptable by RZM so the idea that this would be passed without comment and presented by the SS is fanciful to say the least! Albeit the ring looks ok, I have doubts about the engraving/dedication and if a genuine example the skull may have been removed for sizing post 1945 by a less than knowledgeable jeweller which would explain the skull and the resulting flaw.
