Kantine ring. Opinions.
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to purchase an original kantine ring. I was wondering if I could get some opinions before I purchase. I only have these 4 pics, I am sure i could ask for more if necessary. I love the patina on this one, however I want mine to be original, patina or not. Also, I know prices aren't mentioned here bit what would be an appropriate price range for an original kantine ring of this condition, thanks in advance.
I can't help you with price but I have a very worn example myself.
Do you think the pics I've enclosed looks like an official kantine ring, it looks pretty close, but I'm no expert. I have no idea of what to offer the guy to be fair, he isn't selling it as a kantine ring, just a ring his father as a jeweler bought around ww2 in Germany, at least that's the story.by CBH
Run away from this ring and save your money for a good one.
Nice one Odal as usual, spot on
I agree. It's so worn and defaced. There are Kantine rings around in much better condition than this.
The metal has had a very bad reaction to either the soil or has been exposed to fire and/or chemicals and is now flaking. Not a ring that you could really do much to save. As advised above, I would pass on this one and keep looking for a better example.

Hard to spot on the pics.
But if this topic starting ring is no 2-piece-construction with hollow skull, it is for sure not period made.
Thanks for all the great advice. For once I didn't jump on instinct, and waited before I bought and regretted, thanks everyone.
