Description: WWI GERMAN Richthofen Commemorative Goggled Skull Ring 800 Silver This is an elegant and prodigiously important historical relic of the both WWI and WWII. The special denotation of the ring comes from the grim, but realistic, view that the German pilots had of the air war of WWI. The grinning death's head was seen on jackets and on the fuselages of the planes very often though rather grotesque the skull often was the symbol not only of the war flyers, but also of the WWI Stosstruppen, Storm Troopers, and other elite units. This is an elegant and prodigiously important historical relic of the both WWI and WWII. The special denotation of the ring comes from the grim, but realistic, view that the German pilots had of the air war of WWI. The skull is deeply set inside of the headpiece and chinstrap. The goggles on the forehead and the wings that surround and then sweep back forming the shank of the ring all join to make this such a jeweler's and designer's masterpiece. Although the ring was designed and offered to airmen of WWI (especially the men of the famed Richthofen Flying Circus), it carried over to WWII and the Luftwaffe personnel of the flying arm relished this ring and it became a very sought-after item of imposing attire. Marked on the rear with the commonly found 800 stamp for silver which was used in German pieces during this time and the ring is approximately a size 8.5.
