TreasureHunter5 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 This is a ring I just found on my last trip to the beach this summer. It looks like some sort of German ring with the iron cross and eagles on the side. It has no markings on the inside. Can it be from WW2? Does anyone have any information on an age or what it means? I would love to hear your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Could that be a cross pattee? The depiction on the side might help narrow down what this particular ring's meaning. Is that some kind of bird-human hybrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a little shield type thing under the eagle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryC/Oregon Coast Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Looks to be pot metal to me. Not very good definition in it's appearance. Maybe a fantasy ring? GaryC/Oregon Coast 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Looks like novelty jewelry probably pewter or if it is plated at all then zinc. Cross itself looks to be a color fill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contraption Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Late 1960's these were popular with the hippie types. Don't know about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contraption Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Recall that guy on Laugh-In TV series was dressed in the German garb. Many hippies had necklaces and other jewlery with that type cross. I don't know where it became popular, TV or movies probably. Don't know much about bikers.

Contraption Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not all hippies were love and peace. Many were very anti-American I guess mostly due to the war in Viet Nam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King-Of-Bling Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I have a few rings in this style. This ring is not even silver , let alone ww2. It's recent based on the condition. Also what I call a "junker". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
