it looks like an original patriotic ring, I would suggest that's its a ring made for a lady due to it having such a narrow band, it should have a silver mark. mike

From the photo, it is hard to tell whether its made of silver but that wasn't unusual for many Third Reich rings. However, this is a known design among the many variations of patriotic rings, and this one was silver. I recall seeing one just like it posted on GD a few years back.
If it is silver, there should be a content mark and possibly a maker's mark too... both on the inside of the ring. You could ask the dealer for more and better pictures. If he's a buddy, surely this should be doable. If it's not silver, I would steer clear unless it's very cheap.
I agree with Bonny that the ring may have been made for a woman (especially if it is very small). There were quite a few swastika rings made for women and even kids. The narrow band could also be explained by shortage of silver during WW2. One reason to be suspicious of big, chunky silver TR rings although there are some very nice, real examples.
From the one photo, it looks OK to me. Nice find!
Cheers,
Stephen

sorry it looks cast to me, I think others will confirm this,
-
Now that you have said this, it does appear to have a cast 'roughness' inside. Hopefully others will chime in as well!

Hard to say from these photos and I hesitate to get into another ‘cast-or-struck’ debate. My opinion is that this ring is OK but it is quite badly worn. I‘d be interested how much the asking price is. I wouldn’t pay a lot of money for it, personally.
Cheers guys.

you can quite clearly see casting dots on the inside and the lack of a joint seam plus no silver mark would deter me. its on ebay at the moment.

If it’s on fleabay, I would run away from it. Very quickly!
