Victory Ring of the German Navy (Deutsches Kriegsmarine) (Item KRIEG 8-13)
|
|||||
DESCRIPTION:This is the naval version of the victory ring series. This is one more of the rings that we were so fortunate to be able to buy from a hidden horde of jewelry that was all produced in silver by a master silversmith. This purchase was accomplished at great cost at the Stuttgart Waffen Borse a few years back. Please go to our home page and see the history of this great purchase. Titled “About our Rings and Silver Insignia”. In our entire long careers in this field we had never envisioned let along experienced such an experience. This was the “Aladdin’s Cave” of military and N.S. treasures. We had to as we have noted buy “everything” that was brought in but luckily we were able to sell all the non military items at one time locally in Stuttgart leaving us with multitudes of military and N.S. political pieces. The greatest of all the pieces designed and produced were the “Victory Rings”. We knew at first sight that these would be treasured by collectors due not only to their brilliant beauty but to their importance to the history of the German Wehrmacht (armed forces). With different center designs they were for the Army, Air force, Allgemeine SS and the Waffen SS Adolph Hitler Leibstandarte. We feature some of these on other pages of our site. This one is for the Kriegsmarine (wartime navy) and was the one that there was the least of. Like the other services it has the stylized Germanic Eagle raised and crafted in a separate piece framed in black enamel. The sides of the shank are with silver oak leaves in 3 separate panels at each side. The ring is crafted in (835) silver and is so marked inside. The shield in the center of the eagle’s chest bears the traditional naval fouled anchor also in enamel. The naval victory ring was something being experimented with and 2 or 3 were found in a navy blue coloration as well as the black which was the hue finally decided on to be the final choice. This is my personal favorite of the victory rings. A beautiful example of the finest in German jewelry craftsmanship. PRICE: $1,200.00 |

Unique Special Naval Victory Ring (Kriegsmarine) (Item KRIEG 8-13A) |
|||||
| DESCRIPTION: In the article above, we explain the adventure we experienced a few years back when we unearthed a vast treasure trove of Third Reich-era jewelry. Note in the last two lines of our description we mention that we had heard that there might have been two or three of these rings in navy-blue coloration, but we did not have one of these rare examples. Then, years later, we did manage to purchase separately two of the only three ever made in the blue color and we offer it at this time. It is just like the one shown above except for the color. It also has the “835” silver-content mark. We sold one so in our opinion this one will be the only one to ever be offered by us again.
PRICE: $1,200.00 |
