German Luftwaffe Paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) Silver Canteen Ring.Marked.

Relisted due to failed payment. Second World War German Luftwaffe Paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) private-purchase keepsake ring. Commonly known among militaria collectors as a canteen ring these pieces were bought individually by military personnel at troop canteens or local civilian jewelers as personal mementos . Features the mandatory single-punch Egyptian assay mark stamped on the outside of the shank ,indicating either made in Egypt or the surrounding Mediterranean which fits in with where the paratroopers either fought or were based at some time or another.(AI tells me this could be the  Ramcke Paratrooper Brigade based in North Africa)The stamp & ring displays  authentic wear of a field-struck piece.Ring weight is 8.6 grams which is correct.I also did a rapid thermal ice-conductivity test,which is basically silver will melt ice very fast ,other metals won’t .This identifies it as high-grade solid silver at 800/835 .
Condition Excellent, possibly field worn,showing untouched age-darkened silver patina with a nice contrasts highlighting the finer details.
