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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"G." Posted May 19, 2005 Share 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.
