That thing belongs in the Uprising museum..

"the butchers ring"

I think you know nothing about von dem Bach
He was not a "butcher", he managed against Himmlers order to treat the AK fighters as POW´s and not as partisans and so they were not killed after surrendering. He also brought a lot of Kaminskisoliers and Kaminski himself to court because of theire sadistic approach against the civilians. He saved thousends of civilians in the uprising. At nuremberg trails Tadeusz Komorowski exclaimed for him. I also have letters from jews after the war in wich they thank him for saving theire lives. Before the war he also helped Jews to get out of germany into Argentina. Himmler hates him, two times he write in his dairy that Himmler wants him dead.

The question begs to be asked . . . was he truly your Uncle?

And if that ring be real, it sure is a magnificent piece of history . . .

that ring is real in every detail

I see a beautiful example of the Bandenkampfabzeichen in the first few pics. A rare piece that is in great condition, so congrats on that one too.

I suppose his time in command of Einzatgruppen B in Latvia was spent giving out candy to jewish children? You have some nice rare items there but please spare us the revisionist history of this evil murderer.

Ring

1. The Himmler signature appears to cut across the joiner line. Can you post a pic of this area?
2. I'm hesitant to say this, because magnified photos of TK ring engraving are often deceptive, but the replaced area looks like it may have been cast, instead of engraved. Like I said....could be the photos, but other hand-engraving looks rough as well. Not the smooth lines I'd expect....
3. If your health was poor, and you lost weight.......why would you have such extensive modification made to your precious TK-Ring? Why not just wait until your health improved, and then it would fit again? If your health didn't improve, then it probably wouldn't matter unless you wanted to make sure it fit when you were buried with it. Gottlieb was advertising a TK-Ring with the same excuse for the modification, but that particular ring had the skull re-soldered upside-down.
NOTE: The ring may be perfectly fine, but this is just what I see.......
