It's no problem. I was somewhat shocked coming right of the gate like that with those comments. I've been around a while and know how forums are or can be. That keeps a lot of guys from posting good stuff. But I like to share and I like to study other threads ect.

No worries, no harm done. 👍🏻

No worries. I wasn't selling them but am looking to buy another ring or so soon if I could. That's the challenge is finding the rings. But I must admit, harsh words right off the bat was a bit of a shock for some reason. Although I've seen it many time on all forums, it did catch me off guard.

But no worries, no harm done.

I do know what you mean. It's just that great! The chain of ownership is known since its been found years ago. It's been in a fight with a gypsy on the beach by one guy who wore it for a short time. But it can all be traced back. The sword hallmark dates the ring. Dutch silver hallmarks used some variations in sword marks. That's all online. My jewelers loupe isn't strong enough for me to see the other square hallmark. Looks like mabbe two letters and star or something but I really can't make it out. Hopefully a stronger magnifier will solve that.

Thanks for the welcome.

Part of the problem the ring experts on here have is trying to distinguish the good from the bad by looking at photographs,if they had the item in their hand life would be so much easier for them.Also there seems to be an abundance of modern day rubbish which is usually what they find they are looking at on here.It must be very frustrating at times.Again welcome aboard!!

You got that right my friend, I agree 100%. Trying to take good photos is hard. It's a art form. A ring in hand is always best. I'm sure I've passed up a real ring or two because the photography made things look like something it may not be. And people get frustrated when asked to take pics, then those don't work, then you ask for different angles and those are not any better. Then you get labeled a time waster yet you have a handful of cash to send them if you could just get the one perfect photo. It's a head game ha ha ha 🍻

The Ehrenring is a fine original dated 20.4. for Hitler's birthday, and the year 1937 is frequently found for this bestowal date and onwards until 1944, having been first used sparingly the previous year (1936). I believe that by the limited photo's available here, this may be the ring once owned by a chap named 'Adamik' and has been published elsewhere.
