Hi Gian, I wanted to let you know that I did purchase this ring last year from Hanners Reich. It was the same one listed on the website;

http://hannahsreich.co.uk/viewphoto....ph=3809&phqu=1

You can also search the site for item # 3809 and see the original listing.

Here are some hopefully "better" pictures of the ring stamping and general shape. I am sorry if my pics are not that good, but I am using the iphone to take these...

Hmmm... also on Germaniainternational - Snyder's evil twin:

the photos are bad.. But even so it looks like a casting fault inside,,and the birds eye view doesn't look so good either.. Maybe its just the bad photos[?]

Try a camera with macro, good lighting, take a few in focus shots and hopefully we'll be able to help..

I don't think these pics are going to get any better.... I tried using the AE/AF lock on the iphone

The area in the middle has been cleaned in order to get a good pic of the .935 marking.

This ring is a good known and very rare 3rd reich pattern. It has also been counterfeited for a very long time with the early copies even having real glass fired black enamel.!.

If you own it and are happy with it then that's great... But,, if your trying to sell it I'd say not many these days are willing to spend a lot to buy it without much better photos..
IF these are the absolute best photos you can take,,,well,, my opinion [going by only these photos alone] I'd say this ring is a 4th reich product=[postwar]..

Inner band finishing, stamping(content), band thickness/thiness lots of red flags on this one.....

[Gaspare]

the pattern is fine... I found photos [good ones] of the ring. But we're not sure if the exact piece. But has the same exact faults inside.. Something happened in there.....

Valentino great photo but it's not the same ring.

Photographing rings is tricky but not rocket science. See here my own amateur efforts with my SS ring. Photos such as the above do not serve to prove authenticity and are likely to instead attract collector disdain amid perceived attempts to hide faults.

[cavguy]

I decided to pull the ring from the E-stand as there are some lingering questions dealing with the rings construction. The dealer I purchased the ring from has also been notified.

Runes are uneven and this is bad sign.
