Death Head Ring

Guys,

I picked this up from a widow of a WWII vet with a 1934 Mauser "captured" from a German officer. (no papers, no military markings, with the holster, a commercial one.... the grips were chipped and the gun is in nice condition but a POS.... got it at a good price with the ring Never mind the story..... check out the ring.) I know the SS never had official rings but I think this item is a custom job for some SS guy. It is small for my finger size 10 1/2. The ring has been cut and repaired and resized. Wadda ya think?

I collect belt buckles and the death head is silver soldered onto the ring.
