I have not studied these rings but at first look I would say fake. I believe they were made from silver.

This one might be OK. It is badly worn but looks like a known Third Reich Kantine-Ring pattern. Such rings were usually made of brass or alpacca, an alloy mixture of copper, zinc and nickel. It is sometimes referred to as German silver although it contains no actual silver. These rings were mass-produced and usually had a silver wash. You can see the remnants of this on the ring.
Have a look on the GD Ring Forum. You will see a similar design to this on p.2. Front row, far left:
