Looks like a good original. A bit worn, but sometimes
we find them like this........

I like it.

Be careful if you are buying rings.

Cheers, Ade.

Definitely original and well worn too. As Ade says, be very very careful when buying rings. These are potentially a minefield where many collectors fall down as many rings are post war, sold as original. Pass everything by the forum prior to spending money.

Thank you all for the input...About the ring's,I'm sure anybody who is just getting started ALWAY'S make's the"ring" mistake ! year's ago i was a one that did so,With a "HIMMLER HONOR RING",I knew it was not awarded even though it was marked so but it was such a horrible copy ! I will post a few ring's later,A Luftwaffe observer badge ring/SD-SS Prototype.I've been around WW2 collectible's for many year's,I just recently decided to add to my collection,Again THANK'S ALL for the input,

Cool to see someone on here from Erie, too!

A very nice ribbon bar. If you want to be extra safe you can do as I do and avoid rings altogether!
