SS Honour Ring- authentic or not?
I am currently considering buying an SS honour ring off a collector, however I am unsure of its authenticity, can anyone help out please?
Re: SS Honour Ring- authentic or not?
Nobody can tell much of anything from those pictures.... you'd need 360 degree close ups of exterior and interior, straight on, without blur... before I'd attempt even to begin.... and many fakes are very good, you really need "Boyle's Certificate of Authenticity" before being accepted (cost's $$$).
First impression .... NOT Impressed so far.

Thank you for your help, I shall see if I can get more pictures from the seller

I think you will find that the ring is a copy. The engraving is not as known originals.

I have some further pictures and have asked for some images of the inside of the ring, although I am aware it is likely a reproduction

I have managed to get some more pictures of the inscription on the inside of the ring

So much "scrap metal".... IMO, very bad!

No good then by the sounds of it, someone on Instagram, said they'd bought it from Poland

Beware of any item out of eastern Europe. It is a faker's paradise.
