Old Marine Posted November 6, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 6, 2013 That is a very cool ring, I have never seen one like that either. Those chevrons could also represent 1 year overseas service or wounds. Very nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted November 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 6, 2013 Nice ring. I have seen these before. I believe the chevrons represent overseas service time. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRR Posted November 6, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 6, 2013 Wrong direction for corporal. Agree overseas chevrons. Nice ring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris3bs Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted November 6, 2013 I GUESS IT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE 90 - 100 YEARS AGO. THE SIZE OF THE RING IS BETWEEN 7 - 8. IT IS HARD TO TELL WHAT THE RING IS MADE OF. I FEEL IT HAS SOME GOLD IN IT. MAYBE A JEWELER WOULD KNOW.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRR Posted November 6, 2013 Share #7 Posted November 6, 2013 Call around and find a place that has a gun tester instead of scratch test. Pawn shop, gold buyers, or jewelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that these (and most other WW1 vet rings) date from right after the war through the 1920s. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
