Attached are a series of photos I shot a few years ago of a silver ring brought in by a summer clerk working at my law firm. According to the owner, the ring was brought back by his grandfather who served as a physician in the ETO during and after WWII. Family lore associates the ring with a concentration camp, although the grandson had no specific details or documentation to back up this concept.
The grandson did indicate that his grandfather provided medical treatment to German POW's as well as former concentration camp inmates, and that the family has a large album of photos taken by the grandfather at concentration camp(s). At the time my thoughts were that the ring may have been a gift from a German POW to whom the grandfather provided medical care.
Any thoughts or opinions on this ring? Any information is appreciated.
