I found this one on internet? Is it true or it's a copy?

You'd have to have MUCH better pictures before anyone could even begin to have an opinion....since the person who posted this carefully doesn't show anything needed to determine originality is a huge RED FLAG! Why not a straight on clear view of the SKULL which is critical... details look soft but little can be told from these picture (intensional I'm sure!) BEWARE!

99 out of 100 of these are fakes! Some repros are VERY GOOD!......

So he sends a blurry picture of the skull.... 8O ! Not really good enough (and would need more interior and detailed side views to tell anything).... but save your efforts....SKULL looks poorly done compared to originals IMO..... the quality of the pictures should TELL YOU EVERY THING YOU NEED TO know.... without knowing the deal...your "usually" not going to find an original SS Honor ring for sale on the "internet" .....(unless a highend dealer site!)...

These are much too rare and valueable to "turn up"....(not impossible, of course)....but you'd need a "Don Boyle" Certificate of Authority (he wrote the book) before I'd believe this one!

Your wasting your efforts IMO.
