Skull-ring

[madandi]

I got some rings and other stuff from a friend of mine.
The first TK-Ring was a fake, the fork and spoon with SS-Reich-Stamp was
original.
Now i´m wondering about this skull-ring. I thougt it is a fake, but i have seen
similar rings on a dealers-website.
Please give me your opinion.
The stamp inside is "Alpaca"

common design, looks to be a ground dug. I have no issues with this style, you got a nice original ring! I used to have one with granite eyes and the skull looked like it was gonna bite ya. It was seriously nasty looking, but i was young and dumb and sold it. Be happy with this one . Matt

well, the DAK Pz ring is a fantasy piece ofetn called the 'Rommel' ring......
The 'HJ' leader is a good known wartime pattern but they have been reproducing them for over 30 years so you'd have to get way better photos/

The swastika ring is a problem. There was a company making them and selling them as postwar pieces in the 70s. ,,they had even said they were the ones who designed the pattern! BUT, there have been a few that shown up over the years with a 'semi' good provenance, much better quality,the legs to the swas are even and straight, good detail to the leafs, straight cut and well finished off band... So while many still hold this pattern as a fantasy there are some that like it,,and some that wait for a better provenance to believe..

Can anyone help me with a correct value on the good rings?
I have to sale them and like to put them on the estand.
