SS Einsatzgruppe "A" Officers Ring

[Nordland45]

Hello All . I 've had this ring for about 13 years and have never seen another like it . I was looking for opinions on origin and possible value .
It is .900 silver , SS halmark , and is enscribed on the sides "Einsatzgruppe A" , "Lettland 1942" .

Hi Nordland45


I think it's a 'fantasy' piece...

Hello Nick . please tell me how you would know this?

[Nordland45]

Oh , ok . I wasn't aware that SS Einsatzgruppe officers were that remorseful . Thanks for your help .

[Wuerstenfuchs]

I don't think they were remorseful - just practical!

[Adrian Stevenson]

Sorry, I think this ring is bad too. The tiny SS runes used as a proof mark to the inside of the ring would instantly condem it. The SS did not make rings like this and would not allow a private maker to use this "proof mark" either.

Cheers, Ade.

Why not, looks like used and custom ordered example

Dimas-
The artistic style does not look like anything from the period. Further, as Ade mentioned, the markings are not believable. The SS runes were made large to entrap an inexperienced collector. Sorry, but I would never own this ring as part of my collection.

You´re right. RZM , SS and DRGM markings in rings damn them to fakes and bogus ones. No real pre ´45 ring had this markings.

At the moment i have 36 WWII rings and about 20 WWI rings. But that doesn´t make me to a pro. I´m learning everyday, from Ade, Benten, Gaspare and co. I love reading about new rings, about faults that indicate a ring is a fake. I did that from september last year until now, about one hour per day and therefore got a little knowledge. Especially Gaspare teached me a lot!! Pics will come the next days, when i´m not working.
