This silver ring has a large size. The dealer had a bit of compassion with me because he couldn’t offer me a German ring……....he hoped I was contented to have this one. Yes I do!
Does someone know what type of submarine it could be?

rightside.......

leftside...........

The marks ...I found some Norwegian marks that had 830 S . The initials are J.E.& S .
Above these marks is a mark , kind of a building ( castle) like you find in the Baltic states like brick buildings in the Hanse cities…....just a speculation.

Here a close up of the boat........

Benten, I had an opportunity to purchase the exact pattern ring last year. While I hesitated trying to look up the mark the ring was gone..
I could never find the exact castle mark, but have seen other designs, probably from a series of these rings. They have all had some kind of provenance leading to Norway. Makes sense with the 830S.
anyway, I think that is a fine looking wartime ring made available to the Germans when they 'visited' in 1940....Nice photos too! , thanks, G.

The submarine on the ring is easily identified. It's the same model that you used to fill with baking soda to play with in the tub. Ha-ha-ha-ha

nice ring benten as always

Sorry for the dopey humor. It IS a VERY nice ring. I love the enameling. However, I firmly believe it's a "Destroyer" ring after looking at the design.

Whatever type, I think she's on the bottom now. That's a beauty. Way to go, benten!

Thank you all for your reply !!

Cheers,
Benten

I got more interesting information. The ring is from the " 17 - U. Jagdflottille (17th Submarine Uboat hunting flotilla). There is a book about it.
