Unknown ring, digged from SS battlefield

[lacipaci]

Hello,
I found this ring where the hungarian and german troops broke out from Budapest.
I don't know if it is a military ring or civil.
For me oak leafs looks german, and I think it's a german mithology simbol.
I found similar simbol on Himmler's great chair.(link: http://www.icollector.com/Rare-Docum...-Des_i17960547) Lebensbaum and Sonnenrad

What do you think?
Thank you!
Laci

its genuine, but not 3rd reich, much much older,very nice maybe 17th century

Ring

I agree that it's likely very old, as suggested by it's crude construction - but it wasn't made by a professional German jeweler from the 3rd Reich era.

Considering the posterior aspect of the ring, with the regular cross line patern, I dont see how this could date from the 17th century.

[PHILBROWN]

I dont see anything regular in any of the cross hatching,am i missing something here? id love to know the age myself,i love it jean, im thinking it could even be pagan ,so much earlier, the sun is being worshipped by raised hands with the planets circled round it, fascinating isnt it

Philbrown: can you explain your two replies? They are quite confusing for (new) members.

My first thought as well!

Thank you for the many interesting reply. I hope we can find an answer what kind of symbol is it and how old is it.
What do you think is it 100% silver or should I check with a jeweler?
regards

A BEAUTIFULL RING!!

The cross reference in the centre, below the "outstretched arms" make me think this isn't a Third Reich piece - this makes it look more Christian than Nazi. Not practical to have been worn by a soldier. Right sort of age, but civilian I think.

Shame there are no maker marks. Nice find.

Kind Regards,
Simon

i dont think any new member will be confused by an opinion ? have you an idea of age at all? its purely guess work on my part but the more i look at it, the more i think about the features,and its just my personal opinion/thinking, its certainly a great piece i love it great thread and great input

I think there was a stone attached inside that is now missing.
