Excessive wear pattern for a 1944 ring. Did the vet wear it all the time ? But engraving is good.
BTW, where did you get "Franz" from ?Last edited by der-hase-fee; 08-16-2013, 05:08 PM.Comment

thanks for the help on the ring, i found the same last name online and i thought it had what looked like a F on the inside, may not be his name , probably should not of done that. The story is on the paper, that's all i know about the thing.
thanks for the help guys!

They always say don't buy the story....but I add...keep the story as an aside no matter what.
Off hand, the writing is legit in that it was written by an old-timer
Seeing the handwriting brought back memories of my aged grandparent's handwriting.
If you do get this ring, put the handwritten letter in a mylar cover with acid free backing.
It is cooler and more believable (without further investigation) than most write ups I have seen.Comment

imo a strong worn original ring - get it.
