Real or fake ring? Would appreciate opinions...

[Jaydow101]

Hi all, I would appreciate your input on the authenticity of the following rings. The first I bought under the impression it was indeed a replica. As far as I can ascertain, it is not authentic.

The second ring pictured I bought from a Russian "battlefield hunter/searcher" who claimed to have found it while searching in the areas around Stalingrad. I'm most interested in your collective opinions on that ring.

TIA!
Jay

First ring - replica, second - original.

Hi Jay, welcome to the forum!

Karel is correct. The SS honour ring is indeed a fake while the deathshead ring looks good.

Cheers, Ade.
