It appears to be the German eagle defeating the British lion with the word 'Victory' underneath it. I haven't seen this design before, but looking at it, it comes across as original to me and may be from the BoB period.

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.

I agree with big ned - he hits the nails head.
For me a battle of britain ring and i like it.
I would bet this one is made of brass - the decor of the shoulders is well known on other ring patterns.

It seems to me this design is from a Karl Goetz medal design. Definitely different from your commonly seen fakes-this one looks very good. I like it!
