imo its a fantasy ring,if its solid gold its worth the scrap value, but there are appraisal experts on this forum who will give you an expert valuation.
It's a bad fake of an SS honor ring (or perhaps I should say a fantasy piece inspired by an SS honor ring as the design of the Death's Head, the font of the engraving and the material bear no resemblance to the real thing).
14 carat gold?? I'll bet my boots it's not. Why cast a turd in expensive precious metal? It needs testing at least with nitric acid to prove it is or is not, and I'm betting not.
I wouldn't also mind betting this is another 1 post wonder, the reason being, 1.) The crappy user handle, never bodes well for a sustained input in the future, and 2.) The subject of rings, so often the objects in question when put up for verification by new, and most often serial single figure posters who are gone for good when their ring is condemned.

Bloody hell, Ned! 😜
I agree with Ned. The pale yellow color of this "gold" certainly doesn't bode well...but, yes-it is a bad fantasy design ring that never was, in any case...

You're O.K. Still a wee bit light on postings perhaps, but not far off the magical 3 figures that show sustained commitment to the forum in my book. The Gold Membership does show a significant desire to partake though, and be a member of the exclusive brotherhood of the WRF illuminati, so I'll rate you at B+ with a "Shows willing but must try harder" codicil....
Regards, Ned.

Close this thread? It has wasted enough bandwidth, in my opinion...
