I am new to this forum and am not sure how to post. Sorry for any mistakes in advance. I have a ring that was given to me by my father who is now deceased. The story behind the ring is that my uncle was shot down over Normandy on D-Day. He parachuted to safety, found a dead German officer, stole his clothes, and personal affects and made his way back to the American line, almost getting shot in the process by his own forces. He gave this ring to my father before he passed away because no one in his family wanted it. Any idea if it is possibly authentic and any truth to this story. I know from my dad that he has had the ring from the early sixties when my uncle gave it to him. Please email at jmpreacher@gmail.com if you have any ideas and what it might be worth.

Like I said, this is the story my Dad told me, true or false. A guy wants to buy it from me and authentic or not, I have I have no idea of its value. Thanks for any help.
