Skull ring (possible ww2)

[Davor]

Hello.

Here is my ring that I talk about - it is slightly different and marked ( I think Russian silversmith)- It was found in my garden ( in Slovenia) - so it is also possible that is fake or original because there were a lot of different ,,army's,, at thiese area . Thank you for the answers (sorry for bad pictures)

A old pattern.
WWI but WWII of course still on the market.
There are different band and skull variants.
This pattern is always a 2 Piece one.
Skull seperate soldered on.
This rings are often and sometimes very well faked.
Originals should have a nice visible seam and clear
punched in marks.

With this pics it is hard to build a sure opinion.

The hallmarks should be very clear and punched in with a die
This hexagon on your ring could be a austrian hallmark.

Sorry, with your not so good pics i don`t want to make a statement.


But be very careful, as told, very good fakes of this Patterns are around.

Thank you for your answer, I will take the ring to jeweler and he could tell me which markings are on the ring and if they are original (I think that is the MK mark a Russian mark (jeweler))- but not sure.

This is no eastern europe pattern.
And the hexagon should be the austrian "Tukan" 800 silver hallmark, started in 1922

Ok, thank you for that information - Than I will just ask(jeweler) if this is the mark printed in ring. (I will report how it goes). (Sorry for bad English)
