Tim B Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Am I correct that the asterisk on the ring denotes "made of precious metals"?Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdC26 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 To my knowledge, the star denotes use of non-precious metals (i.e., or generally, bronze) and is (generally seen as) indicative of wartime manufacture. Regards, Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sandro is correct, these were wartime issues, the good thing is when you see the star it is most likely to be a genuine piece.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
