Germany, Wehrmacht. A Commemorative Totenkopf Ring in Silver Republic of rectangular plaque(Totenkopf Fingerring in Silber). Constructed of silver, the exterior bearing a raised Totenkopf executed in high relief, the interior stamped with a silver content number of 935, corresponding to a mens size 8. 5, weighing 5. 3 grams, demonstrating some softening of features consistent with wear, a quintessential example of a commemorative service ring privately purchased by Wehrmacht and Waffen SS personnel in better than very fine condition.
