Re: German Skull ring... real or fake?
It is indeed not German and does not have any connection to the SS.

Re: German Skull ring... real or fake?
Just the fact that that it has the word 'silver' inside is enough to confirm it's not a German ring as you mention. Also, it's design looks to me as if it wasn't even created with the intention of looking like a Totenkopf ring- the stripes and dots on the side look like 'tribal' inspired detailing, not Germanic. However, I'm not sure what genuine 'unofficial' skull rings did look like. Hopefully others can confirm my thoughts, the obvious part aside.

Re: German Skull ring... real or fake?
welcome to the forum the only way you are usually going to get an original german ring is if you actually dig it up as most were made for bikers and reenactors etc

Re: German Skull ring... real or fake?
You have to love the goony teeth on this ring! I'm not trying to be insulting or anything here, but I Had to laugh when I first saw the face on the skull! It's priceless! And,yes-Ned is right,as usual -Eismeerfront/Maxim is a great source for dead on genuine skull rings and such. When they come right out of the ground, how can you argue with that,hey? Trust him- he's a good one! The piece you have now, I'm not even sure it actually Is silver, from the look of it. William

Thank you all so much for the info, I really appreciate the input. You confirmed my thoughts... even down to the "goofy face" of the skull

Hi Yawattah,
I don't know if you still frequent this forum, but I would very much like to buy your skull ring. Please shoot me an email if you see this message - jumpsuitmario@gmail.com.

What's funny to me is that recently, every ring with
a skull on it has a false association or connection
to Germany and/or an SS officer.........
