Evgeniy , this is a good known WW2 design . Its been discussed before on the forum.

Problem is,,it was also sold during the early 1900s and postwar. The early ones had no material around the cross bones. Yours does, so far good. But the repros are getting much better. Yours also looks like it might have had some repairs to straighten out the eye and nose,a sign the mold or wax model had work done to it[postwar] that is not good..

Does yours have these lines on each side of the skull? clear and defined like this photo?

Seller say to me : he has dug out this ring itself in exUSSR Belarus
And one more quastion : i dont understanding , is it original or copy ?

"Does yours have these lines on each side of the skull? clear and defined like this photo?"
As i can see on foto : lines have on both sides of the skull.

E. , This ring does not look ground dug.

Also the ridge lines on the face look soft, waxy, and the edges of the ring are sharp. I wish you had this ring in your hands so you could see if the lines on sides of skull are clear, ALSO to have ring tested for silver type. Many repro rinngs even though marked 835 are really 925!.

Друг, я был бы очень тщательн этого кольца. Как раз мое мнение, это будет фальшивкой. , G.

Here's another that recently sold on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6513442815

Ok , thx everything, for answers
2 Gaspare
Are u sure that original rings mared only 925 ?

E. , NO original WW2 period made rings are marked 925...

The people that copy them now sometimes make them from 925 and stamp them 835 to fool us. , G.

Hm , interesting information
Gaspare can u post here examples with foto of rings where stamp 925 ?
Thx

Sorry for the confusion and my bad Russian ...
Никакие подлинные кольца не были проштемпелеваны 925


Aunthentic silver rings rings produced in Germany during WW2 were :
stamped 800
stamped 835
stamped 900 , many times there were no stamping at all. , G.

Pretty funny G.B.

Dont worry Gaspare . I do understanding u 8)
But , the ring that i post here have stamp 835 , why u say (or think so) that is copy i dont understanding

E.,
серебро черезчур блестящее для 835 пробы.
нос и глаз были отремонтированы воском.
линии лица размывчаты а внутренняя стенка кольца не имеет износа.
это только мое мнение.

Here is a photo of one in 835.. , G.

Here is WW2 advertisement for ring..This one has red eyes.........

Nice russian

Saller send to me some foto and i post it here

Simply I wish to be assured{confident} on 100 %, that it is a copy or the original

next

and last

That looks like a newly-made item to me. Some of the edges look sharper than I'd expect on a piece of jewelry. I bet we're going to see more and more of those.
