What are we looking at chen? A prototype?

You can see that also in other models, such as Kesselring's.

GFM Wilhelm Keitel after his appointment in 1940 and a formal photo portrait with the newly awarded baton.

Does anyone know about the ring on his pinky finger, left hand? It looks like a TK private purchase/kantine ring to me, but does anyone know or have an opinon?
