Re: Unknown ring.
I'm way new at this but I'd say at best it was a personal purchase.
Just not enough wear on the parts that should by all rights be very worn
even with minimal use.
OK, I was little to know help ... IMHO.

Re: Unknown ring.
Considering it's got the Roman 'Fasces' symbol over the Swaz i'd suggest that it's actually an Italian Fascist piece, if original of course.

Re: Unknown ring.
hi callum, looks like it could be an original ring to me , the combination of symbols could point to it being made in north africa by a local arab silversmith ,a very common pratice with afrika korps/italian troops. ....cheers paul

Re: Unknown ring.
I think Ned and Paul are correct - it's a Fascist/Nazi collaboration emblem,
possibly a homemade piece or a souvenir. It seems though, like it may
be made of aluminum as there is no darkening or tarnishing
in the recesses.
Is it marked inside, and is there any weight to it ?

Re: Unknown ring.
Nice original ring. I have seen others like it before. These are Italian made.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Unknown ring.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Would anyone be able to value it for me?
Thanks,

Re: Unknown ring.
The last one I saw sold, a few years ago now, made £25.
Cheers, Ade.
