Just for laughs. This one popped up the other day. They tell me it's a Westwall ring.

This was another ebay ring. This is the photo from the listing. He said he had some better photos he'd send when he got off work.

Here's what he sent.

Note the striking improvement in quality.

here's one bob are they making repro west wall rings ?

Yes. Here's one.

ok bob its time for me to come out sure hope this ones original

I think that's a good one. Looks like a Messing ring that's lost it's plating. Gaspare has mentioned there's versions with and without a decal on the helmet.....Coincidentally, I'm waiting for one of these to arrive.

tanks bob i thought it was good yes the wash has gone yours looks a lot less worn and crisper is the wash all still on it? just waiting for a monogramed ring with luga 1943 inside i will post pics when it comes.

I'd say the plating is about 75% there, mostly gone from the band. Another coincidence; it showed up about 1/2 hr. after my last post. I posted my own photos here: Westwall rings.

A new one for our hall of shame here.

I believe I need new glasses
