          S. lb. H. Mozek 1.12.34 H. Himmler

          I know the initial of first name should not be there...but still everyhting else is so nice.

            That's a copy IMO. The date should not have a '0' in front of the '1', the seam or TK is in the wrong place, the engraving does not have the characteristics of an original, and the overall details are not as sharp as an original.

                  Though my knowledge comes from books and not from hands on experience I agree with the gentlemen above that this is copy.
                  Apart from the engraving, which seems to be done yesterday, there are other flaws.

                  I must say that it ain't the worst attempt I saw, I am always happy when they mess up the engraving in those copy rings.
                  Always an easy give away!

                  Best regards,
                  Martin

                    Jani,

                    In addition to the rest, the Himmler signature differs from period rings. A decent copy if that's what you were looking for but for sure not an original.
