dont know if its original,but it would great if it was

Looking at the enamel and other parts of the ring I´m fairly convinced that it actually is an original. A microscope would reveal alot more of course.

100% percent original

I never have handled such a ring, but i have sometimes seen pics of this pattern.
In my opinion rather rare pattern and not so easy to get.
Congrats!

I have seen numerous copies of this same ring, but This one is looking like a good original, in my opinion. Nice to see a Real one for once! It would be horribly tempting to have the enamel professionally restored!

I´m going for it tomorrow morning, let´s see how the bidding goes...

A good looking piece Jan , i love the Edelweiss .

[Jan]

Me too. I find the history of the ring very fascinating. Made in Helsinki, Finland when Finnish and German troops fought side by side... lost during battle Finns against Norwegian/German SS troops in a battle almost forgotten when times were very much different.

I have not ever seen such ring but even if it is a copy, it is extreemly well made! Sundquist Brothers were a famous jewellery firm in Helsinki and also some fakes have this stamp but it is very different from Your example.
