Alpaca Silver does NOT contain any real silver; it is just another name for Nickel Silver. Personally I am VERY dubious of ANY rings that surface, unless I can see a period photo wearing one, or similar Igive them a wide berth .
I know they existed, but there are so many fakes out there.............................. it's up to you Damion

It is an intentionally cheaply made ring, but on initial look, I can see nothing immediately wrong about it. It's condition is quite poor, but it is similar in design to an SS runic ring that I have.

Hard to say with this pics.
From ground a well known and common period pattern, but a lot of fakes are around.
Outside i can see no sure faults.
On the pics of the inner band it looks like there are pittings from gas porosity/scars/little holes from casting. If this is there it would be the end for this ring.
These rings are die struck/presssed.
Alpacca is an other Name for "Neusilber". A silver shining brass alloy with large parts of nickel.
In the case of this ring in my opinion clear large pics are the key.

I like the general look of it.
