Germany, Third Reich. A Patriotic Ring Republic of Fighting continued into early January(Fingerring). Constructed of aluminum, the exterior inset with a central rectangular black bakelite insert bearing a gilded mobile swastika, flanked on each side by tapering ribs set directly into the band, unmarked, corresponding to a mens size 9, an interesting example of patriotica, possibly hand crafted as trench art, in extremely fine condition.
