“Hau Ruck Der Westwall Steht” means free translated : “ Stand Back the Westwall Stands”.
This slogan are the words:
-on this ring and also of a song of the Westwall workers
-in a pocket-book from 1939 , title: “Hau Ruck der Westwall Steht : A foreman writes a cranky book about the men with spade and chop ”. A bit humoristic book ( see last picture) .
I think the ring is made of a kind of alumimium and has a seam.
There was a black paint/enamel between the letters , still present partly.
