I would avoid this one. Whatever value it might have had has been lost by some idiot trying to pry the gold face off of it...

thanks! but its real you think? i see the damage to the front...what you think of its value? thanks again wagriff
Looks for me like a fine period one.
The mostly common pattern of DAK rings.
And i don`t think that someone has tried to take of the goldplate.
I think more this is the result of heavy wearing. Sometimes this plates are not perfect joint to the ring.
Worth?
Hard to say, but if you want this pattern i would wait for one in better condition. You will find it soon they are around.
thanks odal!
I will keep looking and hopefully find one soon
cheers!
I agree-it looks to be an authentic to the era piece. In the condition it's in, unfortunately the value would not be all that high-probably in the $50 range or so. A shame, as I like the decorations on it-very nice palm trees! Just keep up the hunt! When the right piece comes along, you'll be glad that you waited!

nice looking one
Nice one! I also have an Axis Of Steel ring that incorporates the swastika and fasces. I got this a while back, along with a ring with Mussolini's profile. They're both made of plated brass. Doesn't look like silver though and there's no hallmark.by Wagriff
Apologies for the crappy photos...
Thought you might enjoy seeing this ring too. It's of similar design to the one posted by goodtimes. It was brought back from North Africa by a soldier who served in the Royal Artillery.
Definitely no gold or silver in this brute. It looks hand carved from an old piece of metal. I believe that these rings were common and fashioned by local craftsmen for DAK troops.
The gentleman in the photo, named Kurt Cartsen, was the proud owner. Nice coat!
