    SS Totenkopf ring in silver !?

    Hello my dear enthusiasts.
    I have something very interesting to post today. This is SS Totenkopf ring in silver from my collection. Can anyone help me and tell me if it is authentic? I bought it a decade ago on a flee market. To me it looks very authentic, but I am not an expert and I can't be objective since it is mine
    I couldn't manage to make better pictures. There is a number 825 (I guess it is a code for silver) on a borders and borders are not continuous, like it has been cut off from a finger !?

    Thank you for looking and giving your opinion.
    Cheers,
    Milan

    This is not an SS ring, but a commercial ring that was popular with soldiers. They are very collectible and yours in a period piece. However, they have no official association to the Third Reich.

      Thank you very much for your extremely prompt answer (and help). I thought it is connected to SS somehow. That is why I posted my thread here, into SS forum
      I must say, I am very happy with your explanation
      Very best regards,
      Milan

          Your English is VERY good!

          I think these skull rings are/were pretty universal to all sides, mostly to anyone who's job was to kill. JMHO.

          I guess the ring your friend found could also have been a trophy, we'll never know.
