From what I've gathered it was a early war Luft. landing area in Norway.Do you have any info on this emblem. Thank you. , G.←Fliegerhorst Eismeer"Banaken-Azeichen"Questions:Can you take a picture of the back please and one next to a pencil in order to have a scale.Is there a # on the backIs there a trace of a part removed (eagle) on the top? Can you take a pic, please..Opinions:It is not really a unit emblem but more a commemorative one - to stay at BanakThey were #ed and came with a documentComplete, they were with an eagle and swaz. (like on the pic attached)Your doesn't have the eagle because it is a RING, no? and possibly have no nuber................. but I can be wrong Edited May 19, 2005 by Fran?ois SAEZ

"G." Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Francois , Thanks for the photo and info. As you've guessed it is a large sized mans ring. It came from a good source. Vets family said man was in Artic early war , then recieved ring in Holland later. They said he 'assisted' paratroopers. There is no content mark [but ring is silver] or maker mark..I did see another of these rings, it was exactly the same but had a name engraved in band.. I have seen that photo [drawing?] before but have yet to see a period photo of it in wear,a pin or a ring with eagle & swastica..They could have been left off making the ring easy /comfortable to wear and without catching on pockets.. , thanks again , G.
