soldier made ring ?

[sscrooge]

just won this on ebay so not got it in hand as yet, apparently its got 43 or 45 stamped on both sides and a palm tree on the front but will post better pics when it lands, i know its nothing fantastic but it just caught my eye and if made by the soldier gives it a personal touch,oh and it was cheap and cheerful which always helps:) rgds Dave

Dave, my opinion is it is a ring probably made in Tunisia, and my guess would be it is 1943. I base this on it looks like blanks made for DAK rings it is silver, with a rose gold platform and a seam on the band that usually are soldered shut. This may have been made for a British or American soldier based on the dates and does not look to have a swastika on it.
