Here is another ring i got offered, not too good of a feeling on this one either, what are your thoughts on it?

There seems to be a Swastika carved into the backside. But no markings.

Thanks in advance!

I got offered this, don’t know anything about rings since i don’t study them. I would think this is supposed to be an SS Wiking ring? I don’t got too good of a feeling about it though. What are your thoughts?

No markings from what i can see.

Thanks in advance!

This dress bayonet was given to me by a friend. All I know from researching this forum and other websites, that is is made by F.W. Holler and it is authentic by the clarity of the thermometer inside the logo. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I cannot find any serial number or any other marking.
If you folks be kind enough to educate me on this on this example, such as the meanings of the engraving, any significant of the symbols, etc, It would be much appreciated. As far as I know right now is that this item might be just a tourist souvenir sold at some some tourist trap :o.
I would also would like to compliment this bayonet with a scabbard and a frog at a later date. If somebody can point me or post a picture for the right matching, it would be super. I am a little bit confused since I found an information at a different website stating that there are two sizes of this kind of bayonets and different colors of frogs :confused:.
Thank you in advance.

is it just me or does it seem like dealers are purposely overcharging on many common items these days? I just saw a run of the mill KVK II -without- swords listed for $100 +$20 shipping by a dealer well known to all of us. It’s not even 100% mint!! 0 provenance & the only redeeming quality is that it’s a marked Deschler w/ an issue envelope but even the validity of those is questioned.

It just seems to me that there are a lot of inflated prices right now especially on cloth + medals. I constantly see items listed for $25 - $50+ more than what they should be lately. A $100 KVK II without swords is a prime example of this. When these can be found for 1/2 of that price in similar condition, no way I would personally pay that price.
