Hello, thanks for looking. I for the last few years have started collecting war era items and recently came across a trove of items from a local man who had passed away and his estate was up for sale.If anyone could take a look at these two pictures and maybe help with it I would greatly appreciate it, I also will be posting lots of more items i have for people expert opinions. Thanks!!

Hi Robert, welcome to the forum!

The Iron Cross is a 1939 version, second class.

This type of tag I have not actually seen before, but it would appear to be quite literally a "dog tag". Not worn by a soldier but by a hound. Some kind of dog licence? I don't know? Hopefully someone here will be able to tell you more?

The ring is typical 1930's/1940's.

Cheers, Ade.
