If you mean "ok" as in produced in Germany 1945 or before, I'd say 99.999% chance no, not Ok.

So would I - Trouble with ebay is you have to sort through a pile of crap to find 1 gem.
They are literally flooded with fake/fantasy rings, as you no doubt have noticed - Most coming from east Europe, a giant red flag, in and of itself.

Although the 2nd one comes from a USA seller, swearing that it comes from a vets estate, it looks more like it came from a cheap flea market.

The guy wasn't a vet,he was a old time collector
that died! He did flea markets! Had lots of good stuff! But also cheap crap he picked up over the yrs! He had hundreds of rings many very good and some like these shown junk!

But he bought anything with a skull! I mean anything! For his own pleasure!

The seller on ebay got the things I passed on wks later! He just misunderstood on vet part!

He bought lots of the questionable stuff others passed on! Many hundreds of items that were good!

He just didn't get them! Big Grin

True, most anything with a snake is anti partisan - And usually dug at Stalingrad, of course.
There have probably been more Stalingrad dug rings offered on ebay than actual men that fought there.

It has been said at many places on internet - just do some research before cloning new topics - first ring was created in Riga in early 90ies by friend of mine as cool wearing ring. Name Anti-Partisan ring was given by some american dealers. Thing you see on pics seems like 25th copy of that ring.
second ring is just a bikers ring in poor casting, probably also 25th copy from copy.
