I like the ring Jan but what links it to the SS Skijager Btl Norge ?

I was wondering the same thing, but figured I was just ignorant on the particular subject.......

Good points there gentlemen, I took the sellers word for granted on this one and when confronting him with the same question he admitted that it was only a hunch he had as he thought the unit fought here against the Finns. He was wrong in fact the unit fighting against the Finns was the Geb. jgr. rgt. 218. I haven´t managed to combine the deer emblem to any known SS units. So now its only a Gebirgsjäger ring to both of us .
