SS honor ring, real or not.

[soelberg]

Hi all,

I have been trying to find out if this is real or not. I am not that good in rings, but I know that there are some in this forum that knows good from bad.

It is engraved to a J. Mater on the 28.03.36

Thanks for all the help.

Hi Rene,

How can you tell, what are the "giveaways"?

For a start those small pits between the leaves and runes are casting bubbles,originals were struck from a solid bar of silver then rolled to size and the skull attached. I can't see the inscription but I bet there'll be obvious mistakes there too.

Cheers,Ian.

Looking at the inscription, it is also very clear to see that there is some casting bubbles in there as well. Now I also learned something new today.

Thanks,

Chris

And the date 03?

Shouldn't that be only a 3?

Please compare the ring with an original and you see more diffreneces.

Best regrads,

Yes, this is a fake ring.

The date is wrong. Besides the zero, I don't believe that the date is correct for that year.

Horrible inscription, if you can call it that.

Wrong skull for a 1936 dated ring.

Wrong style band as well.

Thanks

After all you guys have been writing about this ring, I am only glad I got it as a present.

The only thing right about it, is that it is a ring

[soelberg]

They just had the date, last name and H. Himmler. Is that it? Chris
