Chris Boonzaier Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 ... I completed the mounting today.... Am very pleased with the result....... :-)
BalkanCollector Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Very nice display sir! What are those rings for?
Spasm Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Well worth the effort to display them in this fashion. They have some substance now and take up the space they deserve. Right good choice of pictures as well. Nice one.

Hi, the one on the left is an ultra rare item (I know, a term used very often in the hobby), it is the Officers Ring for Bavarian Leib Regiment, for 24 Months in the front line. The second is a Leib Regt commercial Ring for soldiers serving/or who had served in the regt and the one on the right is the Other ranks ring for 24 Months on the front. The officers ring is not pictured in this article, but here is an article about the Leiberring... http://kaiserscross.com/69501/566501.html 26 minutes ago, Spasm said: Well worth the effort to display them in this fashion.

Thanks :-) Yeah, I tried a few possibilities, but rings are very hard to display indeed.... they look like nothing... or like very little.... it is only by displaying them like this that someone looking at them thinks "well, they must be something special if displayed like that!"
BalkanCollector Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Thank you for the info Chris, very interesting!
Chris Liontas Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Awesome display Chris. I'm always surprised the rings survived and were not lost or sold. Really well displayed.
Brian Wolfe Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 As always a very nice job, Chris. Regards Brian
Gilles Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I have a ring of the officers pattern but as it doesn't have LIR in it, I wasn't quite sure. Does yours have the marking? Regards
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 Hi Gilles, the rings have a deep incuse relief stamp of the ILR in an oval on the back. Can you post your ring? Thanks Chris
