This is a rarity indeed! Found in Europe recently by MOI, while in Paris, this World War One ring seems to commemorate the dates 1914 to 1916. I assume this was the tern of a soldier and was given to his sweetheart as a remembrance.
Unmarked, it appears to be sterling silver, and it's about a size 7 1/2, easily fitting my ring finger with a little room left over.
The ring has a shield figural center with the engraved initials "R" and either "C" or "J", I believe. It's hard to read as it's done in Edwardian script. Down the outside of the shank is the dates "1914-16" on one side and "GUERRE" on the other side for "WAR".
The ring is in excellent condition with a fabulous rich patina. It shows some light wear, but it is incredibly well preserved and free of damage or repair. The shank is strong and round with no dents or soft areas. It could be sized, though I'd not recommend it due to its age and authenticity.
A fabulous piece of militaria, this is not to be missed...unless you're planning on going to France and scouring the Parisian markets, I doubt you'll ever find another! |
