WW2 German Waffen SS elite officer's silver ring

#1

Post by Viigrid » 11 Sep 2014, 23:44

Hi everybody
Someone knows something about the history of this ring (not the Totenkopf-Ring)? Is this a SS elite officer's silver ring? To whom and why it was given for example?
On the inside has a ss logo, and two other brands that you can not read for wear.
Thanks

That single fact means it is 100% definitely fake.

Whenever I read in a description of an SS relic the word ***elite*** I either want to throw up my breakfast/ beat my head into the nearest wall/or most 100% of the time know the relic is a POS!!!!

I see that site, but initially i found the same ring on this italian site: http://helleland.altervista.org/blog/il ... soterismo/
After many other search i found your site and that's the reason of my doubt

I have no idea about the ring you are discussing about, but the other ring, ss totenkopf ring, looks pretty good! Could you please send more pix of it? Is it genuine?
