Third Reich Ring

[Michel1976]

Hello,

I'm trying to find someone who could authenticate my silver ring.

I brought it to a friend of mine who thought it could be special somehow. He's specialised in weapons that why he couldn't authenticate it.

There is a date inside 20.4.41 (Hitlers birthday) which is written behind with 2 stamps: one i cant identify and the other is the swastika eagle. Also the name Himmler is written inside.

outside there is the inscription in the back : Meine thee heift theue with a swastika on the front.

As for pictures, give me some time cause I have to resize them.

Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, I believe your ring to be of recent manufacture.
Wait for more opinions.

All I know Ralph is that the first 24h hours it was on Ebay it got to 395 USD before it got flagged. Maybe your right but I would like someone to confirm.

Also I did a lot of research to find something similar to no avail.

There are other members here that are very familiar with the different rings available, although, I don't think any of them can say that they have seen every type available.

Never seen that pattern before which raises suspicion. Worse, the swastica engraved inside the band is a big red flag. Always an indication of fakery. I reckon it’s post-war ring. Not Third Reich period.

The engraved text says ‘Meine Ehre heißt treu‘ which is German for ‘Loyalty is my honour’. This was the SS motto.

And please don‘t trust eBay (or FleaBay, as a dealer friend of mine calls it). There’s constantly a lot of rubbish there that sells for lots of money to people who don‘t know any better. Sorry, but I don‘t like this ring.

Shame! It’s a cool-looking ring.

Sorry.

Thanks Stephen, I appreciate your feedback.

Here is the last picture that could be relevant to the mystery. That's the stamp i cant identify. I tried to get the best picture of it. Even with my good eye, i cant discern exactly what that is or the meaning.

It's an RZM stamp, a common go-to for fakers. The RZM would have had nothing to do with a privately made, privately purchased piece such as this, so I'm afraid that would be the final nail in the coffin.

That would certainly be the death bell for this ring, an RZM stamp.
