    When someone has to go to that extent to explain all of the features of a ring, it's nothing I would spend my money on.

    In other words, sounds like a load of crap to me.

    Just my opinion.

      IMO very soft detail on the S of S Lb, also looks to be a few hesitation marks within the engraving itself.

        No way would I splash my hard-earned on this - or any ring TBH.

            "assembled at Otto Gahr with the skull upside down; something that has been noted before on several early rings."

            Who really thinks The Gahr firm would put a skull on upside down?


            "Usually, an upside down skull is a sign that the ring was resized, but this ring shows no evidence whatsoever of being resized"

             Thats because it a excellent job and not enough to screw up the engraving. Any real profesional then and now could do the same job. It's a resized ring, period,,,and more so than not done postwar..

              You know Gaspare, that Gahr firm did shoddy workmanship like that! Of all the quality items produced, why would they care about an upside down skull. Ron

                Gahr

                To be completely fair, I've seen totenkopfrings where Gahr soldered the skull on the INSIDE of the band! Those are very rare.

                  The "Eckardt" ring's authenticity is highly questionable IMO. And there's ANOTHER 1934 ring floating around out there somewhere with the name "Schindler", that is in that same category.

                    Do you mean "Schwindler"? If so, there are 3 or 4 dozen of them, to date.

                      Are you sure that's not "swindler?"

                        That's exactly what I was saying, but with a very thick German accent + spelling. ......but only because the originals were made in Germany a.k.a Deutschland during the T.R. period.
